The handgun is legally registered to the resident, police said.

The gun was registered to the resident and he is cooperating with police, officials said.

where the homeowner was a legal owner of the firearm

The gun used in the shooting was registered to the homeowner, who is cooperating with authorities, WTIC reported.

April McAbee seems unduely concerned that her readers understand that the firearm used in home defense was legal - almost as much as the other facts of the story - when in fact the weapon's legal status has no bearing on the story.
She has an obsession.

Repeatedly identifying the gun as legal and as registered is part of the gaslighting.

Connecticut law does not require registration of firearms, but all sales must go through federal firearms license holders.

The state is listed as "may issue" but about 10% of adults have a carry license.

Makes you wonder how April McAbee would feel about having her home invaded by a couple of teen thugs.
