Connecticuts historic gun law signed by Governor Dannel Malloy went into effect last month, signed April 4, but the state is giving gun manufacturers and gun shops until June 1 to understand and apply the laws to their businesses.
Gun shop owners like Mark Malkowski, owner of Stag Arms, have said they should have been given more time to interpret it before it went to law. Stag Arms, producer of the AR-15 in Connecticut, said it was considering moving out of Connecticut when the new law passed because the gun cannot be sold here, only out of state.
The owner tells FoxCT he has a new idea now to build a Connecticut-legal version of an AR 15, designing three new guns, one with a different caliber than the original, and two that lack the now illegal features.

Blunderbusses are still legal in Connecticut.
Only 10 round mags? Design a gun that holds three of them.
It always WAS a .22.
Perhaps you meant .22 rim fire
Similar things happened after the 1986 federal AWB.
yes correct
great idea... auto-rotating magazines.
The mags hold 10, but they rotate in a star pattern of 5.
Now how exactly does this make a perfectly designed rifle less dangerous? Ban-compliant stock adapter from Exile Machine.
Yeah cause I use the heck out of my bayonet lug when I rob the local 7-11.
MonterMan Grips for them too ?
LOL
And here's one that is California-compliant. Thank G-d it has this stupid looking thing on it and it's no longer dangerous.
Yes, Stag will be able to re-design the weapon to be legal in the state of CT....for now. So what about the next set of 'rule changes'?
You going to re-tool your line for every idiot politician's whim on what can/cannot be operated in CT? I would bet good money that the next set of 'rules' will narrow it even more.
If Stag looks to move out of state, and set up shop in a more friendly state, I understand that there will be a cost incurred with doing that. However, by doing that, you then take money and jobs from the offending state, and move it somewhere that the locals will be more accepting.
It's far past time we start making it hurt for decisions that are made in the face of common good. In this day and age, people only seem willing to learn lessons painfully. Taking taxes and wages from the offendings state coffers sounds like a good way to teach a hard lesson.
If enough people/businesses do it, then the lesson only becomes more painful.
I am all for inflicting as much pain as possible..it's time to teach hard lessons.
Illegal in New Jersey!
But don’t you think the Connecticut Commies will just write more laws and all the design and development costs will be wasted?
Just leave, it is time to tell them up yours and what a better way to do it...
10 rd mg limit, and no “military” features at all, including a pistol grip.
I just sold a Stag... glad that I did... I will never do business with them again.
LLS
You know, I’ve shot a lot of people with an AR without a folding stock. I was only 18 and didn’t know any better.
I’ll bet you also had as much free ammo as you could carry, didn’t you?
