CT - OK to ship a magazine?

[parsimonious_instead]

A friend is interested in buying a used 8-round magazine from me. (I live in New York state, they're far into CT, an inconvenient drive)
What are the laws in CT as far as a magazine of under 10 rounds? Are private sales still allowed at all? Should I have him email a scan of his CT permit to Cover myself?

The Connecticut GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND CHILDREN'S SAFETY ACT (PA 13-3, PA 13-220) states that no one may sell any (non-large) firearm magazine, belt, drum, feed strip or similar device that accepts ammunition unless the purchaser holds and presents to the transferor:

- a valid permit to carry a pistol or revolver, or
- a valid permit to sell at retail a pistol or revolver, or
- a valid eligibility certificate for a pistol or revolver, or
- a valid long gun eligibility certificate, or
- a valid ammunition certificate and a motor vehicle operator's license, passport or other valid form of identification

It looks like you cannot sell it to him without seeing his ammo, long gun, or pistol permit. I would get a copy of his permit to cover yourself, but it's perfectly legal to privately sell it.

§§ 14-17 — AMMUNITION SALES

The bill generally bars the sale of ammunition or an ammunition magazine to anyone under age 18.

The bill creates an ammunition certificate (see below). Starting October 1, 2013, the bill generally prohibits anyone from selling ammunition or an ammunition magazine to any buyer unless he or she:

1. has a handgun permit, gun sale permit, or long gun or handgun eligibility certificate, and presents such a credential to the seller, or

2. has an ammunition certificate and presents to the seller (a) the certificate and (b) a driver's license, passport, or other valid government-issued identification that contains the person's photograph and date of birth.

The bill defines “ammunition” as a loaded cartridge, consisting of a primed case, propellant, or projectile, designed for use in any firearm. It defines “magazine” as a firearm magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that accepts ammunition.

Anyone who violates these provisions commits a class D felony.

Under the bill, these restrictions and requirements do not apply to sales or other transfers of ammunition between federally licensed firearm (1) manufacturers and dealers, (2) importers and dealers, or (3) dealers.
