Next Round of Anti-Gun Law Provisions Take Effect on April 1
The last major round of provisions in Senate Bill 1160(PDF) (now Public Act 13-3), passed in the Connecticut General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Dan Malloy (D) last year, take effect on Tuesday, April 1.
EFFECTIVE ON APRIL 1, 2014:
- Individuals must apply for a long gun eligibility certificate through the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) to purchase any rifle or shotgun. You are exempt from this requirement if you have a Connecticut permit to carry a pistol or revolver; a pistol or revolver retail sales permit; or a pistol or revolver eligibility certificate.
- The fee (tax) for this certificate is $35 and must be renewed every five years.
- You must complete a DESPP-approved firearms training course.
- You must submit fingerprints with your application and a fee of $50 for state fingerprints and $16.50 for federal fingerprints.
- The DESPP commissioner will have 60 days after the receipt of your application to issue the long gun eligibility certificate, which can then be presented to a licensed firearms dealer to purchase a long gun.
Your NRA is working to reverse this dangerous law which has no effect on criminal access or misuse of firearms, but we need your help! To get involved and volunteer your efforts against these misguided efforts, please click here.

Unfortunately the Rats outnumber the Republicans in Connecticut.Though it doesn’t matter when we have the number of liberal RINO’s that we have who helped pass this lousy law.

Wonder how the left would act if there was a fee to exercise Constitutional rights that they hold dear?

Refuse to comply. I hope the good citizens of Connecticut will comply with all valid laws.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
- Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
An Unjust Law is No Law at All
- St. Augustine
The validity (or lack thereof) of these gun laws is obvious.

Connecticut, now growing and testing the next crop of Patriots.
I appreciate that nearly every Connecticut gun owner would want things different.
It is what it is, though, and my hats off to those of you hanging tough.
Godspeed.
