This bill continues to bind Connecticut citizens through, (drum roll please) you guessed it, \u201ccommon sense\u201d gun control measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once signed by the governor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/connecticut-house-passes-most-wide-ranging-gun-safety-bill-since-legislation-passed-after-sandy-hook\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"connecticut-senate-approves-stringent-firearm-regulations\" title=\"Connecticut Senate Approves Stringent Firearm Regulations\">HB 6667<\/a> will outlaw the open carrying of firearms, harden rules for the safe storage of firearms, and further expand the ban on AR-15s and other sporting rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regard to the sporting rifle ban, residents will be allowed to retain such weapons, however, the sale or transfer of them will be prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, the bill regulates the sale of body armor to civilians and limits the sale of handguns to three per person per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also increases the minimum age to purchase semiautomatic rifles from 18 to 21, requires additional training for permit holders, and limits the sale of DIY gun parts kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, CT will see tougher penalties against perpetrators of gun-related crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Connecticut Senate passes major gun legislation, banning open carry\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6cibWq6AeqE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although similar legislation has recently been vetoed in other states, it is likely HB 6667 will be signed by the governor as he is the one who initially proposed the bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEE MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/nevada-governor-vetoes-three-gun-control-bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"connecticut-senate-approves-stringent-firearm-regulations\" title=\"Connecticut Senate Approves Stringent Firearm Regulations\">Nevada Governor Vetoes Three Gun Control Bills<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-response-to-connecticut-firearm-restrictions\">Response to Connecticut Firearm Restrictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Democratic lawmakers largely agree with Sen. Derek Slap (D) that \u201cThis bill is going to save lives,\u201d their Republican counterparts are not convinced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI firmly believe that every new gun law we impose in Connecticut is simply just another infringement on what I believe are our constitutional rights under the Second Amendment,\u201d said Sen.

Those ghost guns must be registered with the state by January 1, 2024.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bulk purchase of guns<\/strong>: Prevents the bulk purchasing of handguns to discourage straw purchases by barring the sale, delivery, or transfer of more than three handguns to an individual in a 30-day period, or six handguns for an instructor. Law enforcement agencies, returns\/exchanges, and transfers to a museum are exempted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gun dealer accountability<\/strong>: Increases gun dealer accountability by permitting the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection to issue a notice of violation and impose an order barring sales for any dealers violating any of their responsibilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safe storage<\/strong>: Expands the state\u2019s safe storage laws to all situations, not only those where a minor or prohibited person may gain access to a firearm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assault weapons ban<\/strong>: Closes loopholes in the state\u2019s ban on assault weapons by including \u201cother\u201d firearms with banned features analogous to those on banned pistols and rifles and pre-September 13, 1994, \u201cpre-ban\u201d firearms that were carved out of the original ban. A new registration will open for these 2023 assault weapons. If purchased before the date of passage, these weapons can be registered until May 1, 2024. If registered, owners can continue possessing them but further transfers are generally barred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Large-capacity magazine ban<\/strong>: Ensures enforceability of the state\u2019s ban on large-capacity magazines by making possession a class D felony for prohibited persons and a class A misdemeanor for non-prohibited persons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Underage purchases of guns<\/strong>: Expands the state\u2019s existing prohibition on the retail sale of semiautomatic rifles with capacity greater than five rounds to anyone under the age of 21 to also include private sales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pistol permit training<\/strong>: Updates the training requirements for pistol permits and eligibility certificates to require instruction on safe storage, state firearms laws, and lawful use of firearms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Domestic violence<\/strong>: Makes commission of a family violence crime or federal misdemeanor crime of domestic violence into an automatic disqualifier for having a pistol permit, and adds commission of such a crime after October 1, 2023, as a qualifier for criminal possession of a firearm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trigger locks<\/strong>: Requires all firearms, not just handguns, to be sold with a trigger lock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transport<\/strong>: Clarifies that all long guns, including ones categorized as \u201cother,\u201d must be carried unloaded in a vehicle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Body armor<\/strong>: Requires anyone purchasing body armor to possess a pistol permit or eligibility certificate. This includes exemptions for certain law enforcement officers, state and judicial officials, and military personnel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Permitting timelines<\/strong>: Creates a timeline for local authorities to act on the first stage of the pistol permitting process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-update-6-6-23-gov-lamont-signs-bill-into-law\"><strong>Update: 6\/6\/23 &#8211; Gov.
