Go to the NRA's web site for more info. I have been posting their informaiton on every news site I can find. Because I'm tired of all the ignorant BS put out by the media.
Connecticut; Permit to Purchase= Rifles: No*, Handguns: Yes Registration of Firearms= Rifles:Yes**, Handguns:No Licensing of Owners= Rifles: No. Handguns: Yes * 2-week waiting period. ** "Assault Weapons". No person shall possess any "assault weapon" unless that person possessed that firearm before October 1, 1993 and received a certificate of possession from the Connecticut State Police prior to July 1994. The commissioner of public safety shall maintain a file of all certificates of transfer at the central office. |

I think 21 to buy a handgun is federal law. Connecticut laws really suck if you don't have a CCW, but if you do they just suck a lot. Getting a CCW isn't difficult in most towns, unlike my native state of Maryland, where it's all but impossible.
No AK 47s in 7.62x39, evil feature count on semi-auto rifles, blah blah. Frankly, I don't care about flash hiders and bayonet lugs, but the whole idea of banning prticular guns based on largely cosmetic items is silly. However, if the antis had any clue as to w2hat they were and weren't banning, they'd come out with some even more draconian laws. BTW, did anybody ever figure out what Barbara Boxer's "shoulder thing that goes up" is? |

Saw on cnn the weapons were "registered" to his mother. she lives in jersey.
Here in Texas we have no such animal as this "registered" so i'm not entirely certain who does the registering in Jersey. Fox and others are also reporting the shooters brother as having Aspergers syndrome which is a form of autism. This guy should not have had a firearm to begin with. no new law needed. |

It would be a sad situation if his mom bought him the guns as toys to stimulate his autistic fascination with them. |

The AWB is a pain in the ass, but could be worse. Essentially, if you want to have a new AR, it cannot have more than a certain number of "evil" features listed in the bill. When I brought my AR back from AZ (a new production Spikes with a 16" barrel and collapsible stock) all I had to do was remove some of the evil features to make it OK. I pinned the stock, removed the flash hider and replaced it with a pinned bake, and then I ground off the bayo lug. BAM. CT legal carbine.
Preban lowers are valued here because you can have as many evil features ( collapsible stock being the big one) as you want, as if you lived in any free state. ETA: Also, handguns are registered, or at least no sale is legal until paperwork signed by both parties is submitted to the DPS. |

Technically only Assault Weapons and Machine Guns are registered. But realistically everything bought with a DPS-3c is "known about." |

No "assault rifles", no "high capacity" mags over 15 rounds FPID required for any gun purchase, pistol permit required for each and every handgun purchase. Besides, mom was from CT and all firearms were registered to her there. |

Hey, get this shit......
If you own a machinegun in CT, it has to be Full-Auto or bust only. Can't select between Semi and auto/burst.

Method of carry is not proscribed in the state statutes. We can carry concealed or openly. In addition to the Hartford Beer distributor shooting in 2010 mentioned above, there is also the Conneticut Lottery Shooting that occurred on March 6, 1998. Lottery employee Matt Beck who was armed with a 9mm Glock pistol with a 19-round magazine, shot and killed four people before he shot and killed himself. |

Here's another "fun with CT firearm laws" moment...
If you have an Short Barred Rifle (SBR) that has a barrel shorter 12 inches, the state considers it a pistol. According to the state definition of a pistol, they define it as "any firearm having a barrel less than twelve inches". And the state defines a firearm as "any sawed-off shotgun, machine gun, rifle, shotgun, pistol, revolver or other weapon, whether loaded or unloaded from which a shot may be discharged." So its possible that your "rifle" could also be a "pistol" at the same time. 
Pistol or Revolver Firearm Another fun fact. CT is ranked #5 on the Brady Campaign 2011 state rankings list. Which puts us behind only four other states; New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and California. |

Actually one can carry on school grounds if one is "privileged" to do so. http://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/Chap952.htm#Sec53a-217b.htm Sec. 53a-217b. Possession of a weapon on school grounds: Class D felony. (a) A person is guilty of possession of a weapon on school grounds when, knowing that such person is not licensed or privileged to do so, such person possesses a firearm or deadly weapon, as defined in section 53a-3, (1) in or on the real property comprising a public or private elementary or secondary school, or (2) at a school-sponsored activity as defined in subsection (h) of section 10-233a.
(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall not apply to the otherwise lawful possession of a firearm (1) by a person for use in a program approved by school officials in or on such school property or at such school-sponsored activity, (2) by a person in accordance with an agreement entered into between school officials and such person or such person's employer, (3) by a peace officer, as defined in subdivision (9) of section 53a-3, while engaged in the performance of such peace officer's official duties, or (4) by a person while traversing such school property for the purpose of gaining access to public or private lands open to hunting or for other lawful purposes, provided such firearm is not loaded and the entry on such school property is permitted by the local or regional board of education. (c) Possession of a weapon on school grounds is a class D felony. There is also a 2006 Office of Legal Research paper on possession of weapon on school grounds in which they state the following: While a teacher or staff-member would be prohibited from bringing a gun to school without the district's permission, the statute appears to allow him to do so pursuant to an agreement with said district.
The OLR paper follows that up with; "a cursory review of related board of education policies reveals that this practice would generally be prohibited by school districts." So while the law does carve out the ability for staff/teachers to carry if the school allows them to do so, generally staff/teachers are prevented from doing so by board of education policies. |

Funny how they got all these long waiting periods on purchasing guns, and it didn't stop a guy from mowing down a bunch of children.

Quoted:
Funny how they got all these long waiting periods on purchasing guns, and it didn't stop a guy from mowing down a bunch of children. Which shows the fallacy of the Brady bunch's argument and the the cries for another federal AWB. None of what they have suggested would have prevented this or many past spree killings. As previously mentioned CT is ranked 5th in the nation when it comes to restrictive gun laws according to the Brady bunch. Yet they continue to call for more. What this horrible tragedy shows is that sadly no amount of laws will prevent someone from killing others. There is no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube when it comes to banning all firearms. The genie is out of the bottle. Elsewhere (on an other gun board possibly) there was a picture posted that showed the murderer violated upwards of 41 state laws when he went on his killing spree. Yet the liberal solution is to call for more laws... |
