Mar 5, 2026

Summary

The bill rewrites several key terms in Connecticut’s gun laws, defines what counts as a large‑capacity magazine, and creates a process for legally moving those magazines and assault‑style weapons between people who are already allowed to possess them. It mainly affects current owners, licensed dealers, gunsmiths, law‑enforcement and military personnel, and sets new paperwork and timing rules. The goal is to clarify the law while keeping restrictions on prohibited weapons.
