If it's semi automatic with detachable mag (and one or more 'evil features) don't bring it into NY as it is now deemed an 'Assault Weapon' under current law. Read NY PL265. BTW, there was never any law requiring threaded barrel to be pinned and welded that was accepted practice under old law. Massachusetts gun laws are some of the most restrictive in the country, but there is a bit more 'give' than there is in other states. Flash suppressor or threaded barrel for a suppressor. Any AR should have the folding or telescopic stock swapped for a fixed model and the barrel replaced with a straight tube, like the typical bolt gun.

BASIC QUESTIONS ON FIREARMS IN CONNECTICUTLocation:WEAPONS - FIREARMS;Scope:Connecticut laws/regulations; Background;January 16, 20132013-R-0050BASIC QUESTIONS ON FIREARMS IN CONNECTICUTBy: Veronica Rose, Chief AnalystThis report provides answers to basic questions on firearms and firearm regulation in Connecticut. We have tried to make the answers as simple and straightforward as possible, deliberately excluding details that would necessitate longer, more complex answers. For example, almost all the prohibitions contain exemptions for law enforcement officials. Also, most of the provisions do not apply to antique firearms.FIREARMS: DEFINITIONS1. How does the state classify firearms for regulatory purposes?For regulatory purposes, state law designates four types of firearms: handguns (pistols and revolvers), long guns (rifles and shotguns), assault weapons, and machine guns.

The degree of regulation depends on the type of firearm and, for sales and transfers, whether the transactions are being conducted by federally licensed gun dealers or by private sellers not required to be licensed.2. What are handguns?Pistols and revolvers are generally referred to as handguns. State law defines a “pistol” or “revolver” as any firearm with a barrel less than 12” long ( CGS § & ).3. What are rifles and shot guns?State law defines a “ rifle” as a weapon designed to be fired from the shoulder using a cartridge to fire a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger.

It defines a “shotgun” as a weapon designed to be fired from the shoulder using a shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of ball shots or a single projectile for each single pull of the trigger (CGS § ). Rifles and shotguns are referred to as long guns.4. What are assault weapons?State law defines an “assault weapon” a s (1) any selective-fire firearm capable of fully automatic, semiautomatic, or burst fire at the user ' s option; (2) any of a list of named firearms; (3) any unlisted semi-automatic rifle, pistol, or shotgun that has certain specified features; or (4) a part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert a firearm into an assault weapon ( CGS § ).For more information, see OLR Report and Attachment 1.5. What is a machine gun?State law defines a “machine gun” as (1) a weapon that shoots, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one projectile by a single pull of the trigger without manual reloading or (2) a part or combination of parts designed to convert a weapon into a machine gun (CGS § ).CONNECTICUT FIREARM CREDENTIALS1. What is a gun permit?This is a credential required to carry handguns in Connecticut. It allows gun owners to carry handguns anywhere in the state except where prohibited by (1) law or (2) a property owner or someone in control of the property. A gun owner must carry the permit on his or her person when carrying handguns outside of his or her home or business (CGS §§ & ).2.

What are the eligibility criteria for getting a gun permit?An applicant must pass a state-approved course in handgun safety and use, pass state and national criminal history record checks, and meet other criteria specified in law (see Attachment 2). Also the local permit-issuing official must determine that the applicant is a suitable person to have a gun permit and wants the handgun for lawful purposes (CGS § ).3. Who is considered a “suitable” person for permit purposes?The law is silent on this. The determination of suitability is left to the local permit-issuing official ' s discretion.For more information, see OLR Report.4. What is a gun dealer ' s permit?This is a credential that federally licensed gun dealers must obtain from the town in which their business is located as a condition of selling handguns.

Anyone who sells more than 10 handguns in any calendar year must also obtain this permit.5. What is a gun eligibility certificate and how does it differ from a gun permit?Anyone buying or acquiring a handgun in Connecticut must present one of three credentials. One of these is an eligibility certificate; the others are a permit to carry and a dealer ' s permit. An eligibility certificate authorizes someone to acquire handguns but (with very limited exceptions) not to carry them outside of his or her home or business. A gun permit is required to carry handguns (CGS §§ & ).6.

What are the criteria for getting an eligibility certificate?As is the case with the gun permit, an applicant must pass a state-approved course in handgun safety and use, pass state and national criminal history record checks, and meet other criteria specified in law. But unlike the case with the gun permit, there is no requirement for the official to determine that an applicant is suitable or wants to obtain firearms for lawful purposes (CGS § ).7. What is a certificate of possession?State law has generally banned the possession of assault weapons since 1993. The law banning the weapons contains a few exemptions allowing, for example, certain people who lawfully possessed assault weapons before the ban to get a certificate of possession to continue to keep them under specified circumstances.For more information, see OLR Report.FIREARM CREDENTIALS: PROCESS1. Who issues the gun permit and gun eligibility certificate?There is a two-step process for gun permits.

The local official (police chief, borough warden, or first selectman) investigates applicants and issues a temporary state permit, after which the State Police conducts state and national criminal history record checks on the applicants and issues the five-year state permit (CGS §§, & ).The State Police issues the eligibility certificate (CGS §§ & ).2. Are the same checks conducted on applicants applying for and renewing credentials?The statutes do not address renewal checks for either the gun permit or eligibility certificate. But, according to the State Police, which is responsible for renewing both credentials, the division conducts the same checks for both credentials. But the State Police is not required to determine that applicants are suitable or want the handguns for lawful purposes, as the local officials are required to do for original gun permit applicants.3. What recourse is available to an applicant who is denied a permit or certificate or whose credential is revoked?The applicant may appeal to the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners (CGS § ).FIREARM DATA1. How many assault weapons are registered in Connecticut?As of December 17, 2012, there were 8,825 assault weapons registered in Connecticut, according to the State Police.2. How many machine guns are registered in Connecticut?As of December 17, 2012, there were 2,304, according to the State Police.3.

How many people in Connecticut have gun permits?As of December 17, 2012, there were 179,092 valid permits in the state.4. How many people in Connecticut have eligibility certificates?As of January, 13, 2013, there were 57 valid eligibility certificates.5. How many gun permits and eligibility certificates were denied and revoked in 2011 and 2012?According to State Police data, in 2011, 23 gun permits were denied and 1,252 were revoked. In 2012, 25 permits were denied and 1,296 were revoked.

No eligibility certificates were denied or revoked in either year.HIGH CAPACITY AMMUNITION DEVICES1. What is a high capacity ammunition device?State law does not define the term. But generally the term is used to refer to magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. (An expired federal law defined them as magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Some states, including Massachusetts, that ban or restrict the magazines use the 10-round threshold, but statutory definitions vary.)2. Does Connecticut restrict or ban high capacity ammunition devices?Connecticut does not regulate high capacity magazines. The Judiciary Committee considered one bill in 2011to regulate them.

Would have prohibited possession of certain devices accepting more than 10 rounds. The bill did not get out of committee.VR:roAttachment 1Sec. Assault weapons: Definition.

How do you figure that. A mag outside of the grip is only one of the several features.the law says.

A semi auto handgun that has a detachable mag. And has TWO evil featuresis to be considered substantially identical.example. A hypothetical handgun. With threaded barrel. And fake silencer attached.CHECKnot applicableSTRIKE ONESTRIKE TWOnot applicablenot applicableThe fake can does not encircle the barrel.it attaches to the end of it besides i SERIOUSLY doubt Paul would sell them if they were a problem.

(3) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles the barrel andthat permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without beingburned;you got it right on the head.attached to OR partially OR completely encircling the barrel.do I think that the intention of the law is to make it illegal?NOdo I think that the loose awkward wording in the law makes it technically illegal?YESalso to add.the gun itself would not be substantially identical per NJ definition. So there is nothing wrong with owning the gun. It is just the gun. Coupled with what appears to be a muzzle device that MIGHT qualify as a shroud by NJs loose definition. I do not think a fake suppressor is a shroud, because a shroud encircles or covers an object.when NJ defines something does that not trump any other definition. Case in point.

Microsoft toolkit activator 2.4.7 free download. Thumb hole stock. Thumb hole stock is NOT a pistol grip.

It is a stock. But I would not put one on a semi auto shotgun. Because NJ defines pistol grip in a specific way.NJ states a 'shroud' that is 'attached to'. A shroud by your definition could be any number of things. But even taking some of the literal definitions of shroud from the link you provided.

Something that covers or conceals like a garment: a shroud of rain.3. A protective coveringdoes it not hide the end of the barrel? Does it not protect the threads in the same manner that a thread protector does?I see nothing even in the common English definition of shroud that says it has to completely and totally cover the entire item it is attached to.My CX4 barrel shroud which is marketed and sold as a shroud did NOT cover the entire barrel.like I said. I think you are just at the dangerous end of splitting hairs for absolutely NO legitimate useful gain.why even attach a fake suppressor that has NO useful value when it even MIGHT create red flags. You can tell yourself all you want it is absolutely not a shroud.

Agree to disagree. But most people who would read that wording. As it is literally written.(3) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles the barrel andwould agree it is a shroud as NJ is using the wording.

They even go through the trouble of describing it. As something that could attach to it. Or it could partially cover the barrel. Or completely cover the barrel.the fake suppressor screws on the end of the barrel. Attaching to the end.

As described. Partially covering it.

As described. I mean it is pretty to the point.

How much more clear could it be. The amazing thing about this topic to me is the amount of briefs sent to SCOTUS. This case has brought forward at least 50 briefs! You have these screwball Democratic Senators threatening the Court if they don't make a decision that they like.In addition the NY case is not asking what Rogers is (shall issue). They are only asking to transport their guns unloaded and locked in a case. After all NYC only has 7 approved gun ranges.

I just hope the justices have the brass to tell Whitehouse and Co. To shove it.
