I'm considering a move to CT in a few months, also considering purchasing a Sub 2000.

Wondering if I purchase one would it be legal to bring to CT?

Also does CT have restrictions on hi-capacity magazines? If so, legal limit?
 
I believe the SUB 2000 is OK. It doesn't have two of the evil features listed in our AWB. Nor is it a "named" firearm.

We don't have any hi-capacity magazines restrictions.

Do not bring anything listed in this section with you.Do not bring anything with two or more evil features with you. You will not be allowed to register them as an assault weapon here.
 
Well, that definitely and precisely answered my question, thanks so much for the info!

Now all I need is a nice Glock magazined Sub 2000 and a house.

"You will not be allowed to register them as an assault weapon here."

Do any long guns have to be registered?
 
No we don't have firearm registration. Only firearms purchased at a FFL in Connecticut are de facto registered at the time of purchase.

We still can purchase longarms privately without paper work with the state.

Handgun sales must go through the state whether private or FFL. And you must have a Pistol Permit or a Certificate of Eligibility to purchase a handgun here.

The assault weapon registration refers to when our AWB was passed we had a period to register them in order to keep them. No new assault weapons can be brought into this state. Also the ones here and registered can not change ownership :cuss: :banghead:
 
huh... my parents live in CT and i have considered moving back closer to "home" in the future.

From reading those descriptions, i don't think my Bushmaster XM-15 E2S would be legal there: has a telescoping stock and a flash suppressor.

Not even sure what "pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously below the action of the weapon" means.

Are Bushies kosher in CT?
 
Re: Assault weapons

"Also the ones here and registered can not change ownership".

I assume they can be sold out of state?

Are there full auto guns grandfathered in?

I have a Bushmaster XM15 here in CT, It has a fake flippin' flash hider, and a fixed telestock... That's what is legal... Newington gun exchange is a great source for questions here in CT.
