Well, that's an interesting way to deal with their little problem of the Constitution.... "Of course you can have a gun, just report to the police station for a permit" and then close down all the stations you can get it at... it's legal though.

Not really, from the Connecticut state constitution.

"Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state." Article 1, Section 15.

Yet somehow the whores on their state supreme court think that a right can be subject to state "eligibility certificute" (to purchase a handgun) or license/permit (to carry a handgun). But whatever they think, it's not "legal" since the state constitution is the supreme law of the state. All this setting aside questions of the US Constitution's 2nd amendment's applicability to the states.

That is how the Federal Government deals with restoring gun rights to someone convicted of any crime. The law says that you can appeal for restoration of your rights but the Congress has denied the use of any funds to administer the hearings.
