“[T]o obtain a conviction for carrying a pistol without a permit, the state [is] required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant (1) carried a pistol, (2) for which he lacked a permit, (3) while outside his dwelling house or place of business.... "The term pistol and the term revolver ... as used in [ General Statutes §§] 29-28 to 29-38, inclusive, mean any firearm having a barrel less than twelve inches in length. General Statutes § 29-27. In cases in which a violation of § 29-35 is charged, the length of the barrel is ... an element of [the] crime and must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. ... We observe, however, that, like the other essential elements of the offense, the length of the barrel of a pistol or revolver may be proven by circumstantial, rather than direct, evidence. Direct numerical evidence is not required to establish the length of the barrel of a handgun in question.”
