A shotgun is a long gun.

Prior to the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school massacre, long guns could be transferred face-to-face without paperwork. As part of the 169-page public act that was enacted in the dead of night following sandy Hook, now all transfers (both handguns and long guns) in Connecticut must have prior approval from the State Police.

Note on the DPS-3 form: Second row, 4th box from the left. Also note the title -- "Sale or Transfer of All Firearms."
