As of April 5, 2013, any person transmitting a large capacity shipper in that State is guilty of a Class D crime, except as provided in paragraph (f) of this article. Connecticut allows all NFA firearms except selective-fire machine guns; However, weapons of this type, which existed in Connecticut before the ban, are grandfathered. Selective fire means that a machine gun can fire semi or fully automatic. Machine guns that can only fire fully automatically are legal in Connecticut if fired before September 4. April 2013 and registered no later than January 1, 2014. But another part of the same law prohibits these grandfather owners from loading magazines beyond 10 rounds unless they are at home or on a shooting range. A person who legally owns a large charger before January 1, 2014, must apply to the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) before that date to declare possession of such a charger. The application must be made on a form or in the manner prescribed by the Commissioner of the PPSPE.6 The PPPP must also prepare or amend the following application forms so that an applicant can declare possession of a large magazine in the same form: 1) a certificate of ownership of an assault weapon; (2) a licence to carry or a certificate of eligibility for a pistol or revolver; 3) a certificate of eligibility for long guns; or (4) the renewal of this permit or certificate.7 If the owner of a large warehouse transfers the shipper to an authorized distributor, the distributor must issue a certificate of transfer at the time of delivery. For each transfer made before January 1, 2014, the merchant must submit monthly reports to the commissioner of the RREE on the number of transfers accepted by the merchant.11 For transfers made on or after January 1, 2014. January 2014, the merchant must send or remit the transfer certificate to the Commissioner.

Reasonable limits for large capacity chargers save lives. The vast majority of the American people support – and demand – these basic public safety measures. My office will vigorously defend Connecticut`s law and our state`s right to protect communities from senseless violence and tragedy. (3) Delivery of a high-capacity magazine to an authorized arms dealer under section 53-202x; or (4) the transfer of a high-capacity store before October 1, 2013 from an authorized arms dealer, a pawnshop licensed under section 21-40 or a consignment store operator within the meaning of section 21-39a to a person who: (A) owned the high-capacity store on or before April 4, 2013; (B) placed a firearm lawfully owned by that person with the large capacity magazine; The front or the 4.

A high-capacity magazine can be owned by people, among others: the lawsuit alleges Ross has a handgun and magazines, each containing 17 rounds of ammunition. Ross also has a valid permit to transport him, the lawsuit says. Since 2013, Connecticut law prohibits the sale or purchase of high-capacity ammunition magazines containing more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Existing owners were allowed to keep the magazines before the law was passed.
The 2013 law, passed four months after the Sandy Hook shooting, required magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds to warn the state.
