Gentlemen, get this under control.

For a weapon to be a “firearm”, it needs a brace AND a vertical foregrip AND must be over 26” in length.

That 26+ weapon is not designed to be fired from the shoulder, because of the brace, AND it is not designed to be fired with one hand BECAUSE of the vertical grip indicates it’s designed to be fired with TWO.

Put an angled grip on it, and it’s just a long pistol.

That’s my read on it...

As far as Connecticut goes, ask someone from Connecticut.  But I think the “other firearm” and pistol are both good to go in CT.

The CT4-2A DOES NOT under any circumstance fall under the definition of either an Assault Weapon or an AOW. Below are the follow characteristics defining the CT4-2A as an “OTHER FIREARM”.

Is NOT a Rifle as it does not have a buttstock. Features a spineless cylindrical tube that does not allow for any rifle buttstock to ever attach.

Is NOT a Pistol as it has a Forward Vertical Grip.

Is NOT a Pistol SPECIFICALLY under CT/NY Law as the MINIMUM barrel length is 12.5”. CT Defines a Pistol as have a barrel length of 12” or Shorter,

Is NOT an AOW, as it over 26” in overall length, and features a vertical forward grip.

If only CT law as written actually required a VFG
Link Posted: 5/28/2020 9:13:32 PM EDT
[#35]



There isn't one.

There are certainly "others" that do not require a forward grip, but they are designed to or require 2 hands to fire.  An AR pistol-looking-thing isn't necessarily designed to be fired with 2 hands, so the addition of the forward vertical grip changes that.  To comply with CT law you then need a barrel +12.x" and to comply with ATF it needs an overall length +26"



Quoted:


In CT there is no official determination on a minimum length for the VFG.

Typically CT will defer to the ATF interpretation unless they want to invent their own definition.

Now, would it be smart to make sure you can grasp it with at least 2 fingers and a thumb?  Probably.

Quoted: Those involved a folding stock adaptor. The ATF did say that any AR pistol or "other" with a folding adaptor must be measured with the adaptor folded. In that case, there is no way that the OAL will ever be over 26". If a standard non folding buffer tube is used and the OAL is over 26" then you can use any type of fore grip per federal law.

@Andrapos

Sorry, it was a poor attempt at sarcasm.

There's no 2 hand shooting requirement, per CT. The only determining pistol factor is a barrel <12".

In fact, a VFG could get you into AOW territory, since some pistol buffers (pdw) are short enough that a 12" barrel would put you under 26" OAL (~25"). The VFG would remove you from federal pistol status.

Manufacturers of CT Others install vertical foregrips on them to avoid the possibility of them meeting state or federal definitions of a "pistol." It makes sense that they do that, especially since the instructions on the DPS-3 form (as revised to 1 OCT 2019) reference federal definitions for other firearms (directing one to the definitions used on the 4473 form). e.g. When I bought my Rossi Ranch Hand (.44 MAG lever action (federal) pistol that has since been SBR'ed, 12" barrel, 24" factory OAL), the store that I bought it from had to process it as a pistol.

Some of the "others" that Freedom Shoppe has advertised/ sold have been registered as AOWs.

@JAD

I understand what you're saying, but this entire thread has been about requirements/statutes and none of that has to do w/ CT.

Also, as I stated, using your logic could get you pinned for an AOW. I'd suspect all LGS others to be 26"+, so not an issue. But, those building don't need to think a VFG is req'd.

The Freedom Shoppe did AOWs as an insulation and it's only a $5 transfer fee. Still not a req.

I did not mean to imply that AOW status is required for an item to be an other or to detract from the purely factual statement that 53a-3 currently defines the terms "pistol" and "revolver" exclusively by barrel length, though items that are configured as AOWs need to be registered and transferred as such.  I was attempting to state that the purpose is for transfer insulation- because the state transfer forms and procedure continue to in-congruent with the statutory text regarding the definition of a pistol/ revolver. (<--That issue extends well beyond "others" and should be a very real consideration, especially since 1995.)

@JAD
We agree on those points. However, the OP states VFG's are required equipment ("of a required VFG  is on a "other" firearm since it has to have one"). When the thread went to Fed level, the OP clarified his question was specifically regarding CT law.

My original questions were aimed at @Ironcross, who's since disappeared.
"Where is CT's determination that a VFG must be on an other?
What status is it changing?"


I'm saying such a statute doesn't exist and asked what status the VFG was changing. 11.999999 - Not a Pistol (per CT)
There's nothing left to cover.
Federally, it's a pistol, so no need to put a VFG on it and run the risk of it being an AOW, because it absolutely can be <26".

Yes, an LGS would be smart to cover their bases, selling >26" OAL and a VFG.
A buyer would be fine regarding a $5 AOW transfer or not (might want a folder)
A builder could legally make a <26" firearm with a 12" barrel and no VFG. It would be a Federal Pistol and a CT other.

We agree on those points. However, the OP states VFG's are required equipment ("of a required VFG  is on a "other" firearm since it has to have one"). When the thread went to Fed level, the OP clarified his question was specifically regarding CT law.

My original questions were aimed at @Ironcross, who's since disappeared.
"Where is CT's determination that a VFG must be on an other?
What status is it changing?"

If Ironcross would have stated in his original post that he was asking about CT specific laws, all the BS would NOT have happened. I would have never even replied to his post if he had specified that he was asking about CT laws. Plus it didn't help that he got argumentative with people.
