Got my AW regs today.  

Good day to send in some form 1's then.  If you can't have more then sbr all the things!

Yup. That's what I'm gonna do. Whenever my stuff shows up.

So 60k means that only 60k guns have been registered so far?

Including the '93 ban.

When malloy said that over 55,000 people registered... He was including those who were already registered from years ago.

Exactly my thought.  I just sent in a form for the 3rd of 4 receivers.  Can't get any more so might as well make em count

 

This.

Me three. Who cares. They come when they come. Fuck this state!

Have been running to the mailbox every day after work for months, with a letdown every time.
Had hand delivered them to DPS in Middletown 12/29. They were in the 59,600ish range.
Now I don't really care what's in the mailbox anymore, I got my credentials.

Perhaps I had misunderstood the newer rules, are you all saying that we can SBR?
Because I'll fill out form ones tomorrow.
Thought there was some stipulation about 30" overall length, which was why I had registered my fs2000.

Yes you can SBR a rifle. The problem with SBR'ing a rifle was ATF wanted one to include the "Certificate of Possession" for the so called "assault weapon" due to the fact that either the rifle being SBR'd was already an assault weapons per CT law or was made into one under state law because the barrel was less than 30 inches when one creates the SBR.

For those who are looking to SBR a preban, those rifles which the state considers so called assault weapons but which manufactured prior to 9/13/94 and which do not have to be registered, one can obtain the "Certificate of Possession" from DESPP prior to sending the SBR application paperwork to the ATF.

Think you for clarifying that about the SBR, really made my day.
On an unfortunate side note, my local country music station is airing minute long commercials featuring our First Lady verbally supporting her sideman Dan, how she loves his gun control and wants to blow him. What happened to the good ol days when the First Lady mostly kept her mouth shut?

She is far from a lady.

In my head, she sounds like Mrs. Butterworth

Can you tell me more about this Certificate of Possession? I've got a pre-ban but I'm assuming with how purchase gets sent to your town and the state they already know I have it despite it not needing to be registered as an AW. If i see a smoking deal on a pistol upper around black friday ect I may want to form 1 it.        




 

While the DPS-3-C form that is filled out when one buys or has a firearm transferred to them is "registration", it is not the "assault weapons" registration. "Prebans" ARE considered assault weapons per the state of CT its just they are exempt from the assault weapon registration requirements and can be sold/transferred.

The "certificate of possession" is the assault weapon registration. Its the bottom half of the form you get back from the state after submitting the Assault Weapon Certificate Application - DPS-414 form to DESPP.

For example if one wants to SBR a "preban" (those firearms manufactured prior to 9/13/94) then they have to fill out and submit to DESPP the Assault Weapon Certificate Application - DPS-414 form. DESPP mails back (or gives back if you do it in person) the bottom half of that form with a certificate # stamped on it. One then includes a copy of that "certificate of possession" with their ATF SBR paperwork. If one fails to include the "certificate of possession", ATF will not process the SBR application and will contact the person to have them submit the document. The ATF is making sure that one has legal possession of the so called assault weapon due to the new state laws passed on 4/4/13. The "certificate of possession" proves you have legal possession of that so called assault weapon.

For those who are still waiting for their AW certificate, you really need to call them.  I filed my own paperwork back in November and was still waiting on one AW cert so I contacted them.  They claimed they already mailed it out, but since I never received it I asked for a copy.  They then put me on hold for FIFTEEN FRIGGING MINUTES, and when they came back they asked whether they could email me the copy of the AW cert in PDF format.  I told them no, I wanted something their office issued so it didn't look like something I manufactured myself.  So, they promised to mail it out.

I got the copy the next day.  IT WAS THE ORIGINAL.  The one they claimed they sent me months ago. I know because it's the one with my notary's stamp on it.   Apparently the office drones at the DESPP simply put the whole paperwork, AW cert and all, into the filing cabinet and forgot about it, meaning they screwed up on their end, then lied about screwing up and then tried to cover up the screw up and the lie.

In truth, I don't blame them.  Malloy is the cancer in the state who is instigating this foolishness to begin with.  He needs to be fired in November.  Period.

Wow, that is ridiculous. If I'm in the area, I'll be stopping by in person this week.

Well, they showed up today. What a crappy kind of feeling inside.
#59,6xx-59,6xx  6 total. Plus my 2 denied pistol barrels, still figuring out what to do with those.

Got mine this week.......  Including the barrel for my brothers H&K USP 45T
