In 1994, Congress passed the Violent Crimes Control and Enforcement Act, which prohibited the manufacture, transfer and possession of semi-automatic weapons and made it illegal to transfer or possess high-capacity ammunition supply equipment. This law expired in 2004, but helped reduce the use of high-capacity magazines in the field of crime to 10%. This figure rose to 22% in 2010. I see that some stores still sell 33 round mags for Glocks. Is it a pre-prohibition that is established and authorized? Even some 15 round mags are in my area, can`t they be charged more than 10? (6) Any person, company or entity that manufactures high-capacity shippers in that State and manufactures, purchases, tests or transports high-capacity shippers in that State for sale to persons listed in subsections (1) to (5), including this Subsection, or for sale outside that State, or to a firearms manufacturer holding a state licence; manufactures firearms or high-capacity magazines in that State and purchases, tests or transports high-capacity firearms or magazines in that State for sale within that State to persons listed in subsections (1) to (5) of this Subsection or for sale outside that State. TLDR: If you didn`t register them before the ban, you can`t have them – period. Even if you`ve saved them, it`s not a good idea to carry them around. Or do it with .50 Beowulf and they are legally 7 round mags. On April 1, 2013, Connecticut lawmakers announced an agreement on some of the “strictest gun laws in the country.” In hindsight, however, Connecticut`s gun laws remain more permissive than in California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey (especially when it comes to open and hidden harbor), even after new gun control laws went into effect following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. This new legislation included a ban on new magazines of high-capacity ammunition, although magazines that were legally owned before the ban could be retained. The proposal also included background checks for private sales of firearms and a new registry for existing magazines carrying more than 10 bullets. [9] The package also creates what state lawmakers have said is the first state registry of dangerous gun offenders, immediate universal background checks for all gun sales, and the expansion of Connecticut`s assault gun ban. [14] On April 3, shortly after midnight on April 4, the state Senate passed a bipartisan gun control bill that would be “the toughest in the United States.” [15] It was signed by Governor Dannel Malloy on April 4.
The law makes Connecticut the first state to establish a registry for people convicted of crimes with dangerous weapons. It also requires background checks for all gun sales, restricts semi-automatic rifles, and limits the capacity of ammunition magazines. Connecticut`s firearms laws govern the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition in the State of Connecticut. Connecticut`s gun laws are among the most restrictive in the country. Connecticut requires training, background checks, and licensing requirements for the purchase of firearms and ammunition; and a ban (with exceptions) on certain semi-automatic firearms, defined as “offensive weapons”, and magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Connecticut`s licensing system for overt and hidden clothing is relatively permissive. There is no “pre-ban” for CT mags. If you had them before the ban, you could “register” them. If not, you`re out of luck. Even if you have registered them, you are not allowed to charge them more than 10 rds, except at home or on the beach. I think there was a case where someone was arrested for putting 11 in the magazine and forgot to disassemble the slide (which would have left 10 in the magazine). I don`t know if they`ve been convicted, but they`re so pedantic about it.
Count one or two rounds incorrectly and you are a criminal. As with all these laws, our overlords have excluded themselves and the state authorities. The 2013 law, passed four months after the Sandy Hook shooting, required owners of magazines that could hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition to notify the state. It also required the registration of most weapons that use high-capacity magazines. Are they only legal for use/storage at home and in the area? I find the contradictory information confusing and just need the direct answer if possible. “Measures to prevent armed violence with common sense are clearly constitutional,” Tong said.
