Persons including a professional bondsman, surety bail bond agent or bail enforcement agent are prohibited from carrying a pistol, revolver or other firearm while acting in their professional capacity.  [i]The above mentioned individuals are also prohibited from carrying a firearm while traveling to or from such business unless such bondsman or agent obtains a special permit from the Commissioner of Public Safety on successful completion of a course of training in the safety and use of firearms.  The permit required under this section shall be in addition to the permit requirement imposed under section Conn. Gen. Stat. § 29-28.

Employees of a licensed security service and security officers hired by a firm or corporation are similarly prohibited from carrying a pistol, revolver or other firearm while on duty or directly en route to or from such employment, unless such employees obtain a special permit from the Commissioner of Public Safety.
