Connecticut law requiring permit or certificate for sale, transfer of long guns takes effect
The New Haven Register ^ | April 1, 2014

Posted on 04/03/2014 12:56:13 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

HARTFORD -Starting Tuesday, April 1, long guns may not be sold or transferred in Connecticut without a permit to carry pistols or revolvers or an eligibility certificate for pistols or revolvers or a long gun eligibility certificate, according to the state police.

The law is part of the package of gun control legislation passed by the General Assembly last year after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. Other parts of the law had already taken effect.

The law required owners of assault weapons that were banned under the law to register their guns by Jan. 1, 2014. That was also the deadline for the registration of large capacity magazines. The law also put in place universal background checks, barred the sales of ammunition to anyone under 18 and created a dangerous weapon offender registry.

The state police said as of Tuesday, that the permits can also be used for the purchase of ammunition. Anyone intending to purchase only ammunition and not any further firearms will be required only to obtain an ammunition certificate.

According to the state police, sales authorization numbers will be required for all firearm sales, retail or private, and must be submitted to the Special Licensing and Firearms Unit using form DPS-3-C (sale or transfer of all firearms). A DPS-67-C form (application to purchase firearms) must be filled out and retained by the seller. The forms are available at the state DESPP website...

>> a dangerous weapon offender registry

All weapons are dangerous.

A weapon “offender” registry? What offense? Merely having a weapon makes one an “offender”?

Has the “offender” harmed someone?

“Registry”? The subliminal message equates gun owners with rapists.

These people are deranged. They seek to taint people socially.

What a shithole of a state, period.

Any state that actually hosts the Jerry Springer Show (Stamford) and the Maury Povich Show (also Stamford) does more harm to this country than guns do.

Which state line would you be referring to?

Massachusetts? New York? Rhode Island?

Even if they don't have similar restrictions right now they could, and would, pass them in a heartbeat.

Yeah, for sure. Fortunately, I can not foresee any reason to go to Connecticut. God Bless Texas :)

I get your point it was more a less “there’s ways around the law”. I was born and raised in Maine but live in Maryland soon to be Georgia for retirement. I refuse to drive back to Maine simply because I have to go through MA, NJ, NY, CT etc plus the entry / exit fines (tolls) will drain you anyway unless you take back roads.

yes.. Maryland sucks as well and that’s why I’m leaving.

What state?

Connecticut is surrounded by New York, Massachussets, and Rhode Island, all anti-gun communist enclaves.
