I belive you are incorrect on two points, but perhaps Conn. Trooper can clarify:

The certificate of eligibility absolutely does NOT in any way allow for transport to a range ... irrespective of locked and unloaded. The statute is very clear that if you don't have a carry permit you are allowed to transport only to a gun shop for sale, to or from a gunsmith for repair, or between your home and YOUR place of business.

No other person may purchase or possess a pistol in CT with the exception of someone participating in a sanctioned competition, but then the interrstate transportation rules apply before and after.

The law says nothing about possession. If I lived in Vermont and had an "arsenal" of 25 handguns and 50 long guns, I could relocate my residence to Connecticut, bring ALL those guns with me, and as long as I kept them in my house I would not be in violation of any laws.
