I'm not sure on Connecticut but many states have preemption laws that prevent cities and townships from passing firearms ordinances that are more restrictive than the state laws. If the state does not have a preemption law the cities and townships are free to determine their own ordinances...This doesn't make it right though.

If CT does not have a preemption law and enacts one now I'm willing to bet the re-existing ordinances of the cities and towns will not be affected.

In reference to States Preemption, I believe Illinois does not have a specific preemption law and that is how Daley is able to enact restrictive laws in "his" city...
