No Out-Of-State Ammo Sales in CT

[sturmcat]

I recently (Tuesday, 11/19/13) went to a gun store in Connecticut to buy some ammunition. I have a MA LTC-A and thought nothing of it. I was told that as of a week ago Connecticut stores cannot sell Non-Residents ammunition. No way around it. They said that CT lawmakers sent out a letter last week telling FFL dealers that they are not allowed to sell ammunition to anyone except CT licensed persons. I also heard that CT lawmakers might revisit the issue in early 2014 and might possibly change the law.

You're funny. They're not going to change the law. If anything they'll make it worse.

Looks like that CT license app could have come in handy when I was doing my mass license. It was a dual license class and I was like "I'll never need a CT license"

I thought out of staters could buy ammo if you purchase the $35 permit from the state? Thats what Cabelas said anyways....

I believe the state AG is trying to interpret the law as only CT resident permits allow purchase, not any permit.

CT resident permit, Non-resident permit (have yet to verify) or resident with ammo certificate.

Oxymoronic, as there are MA residents with CT carry permits.

I just spoke with the Special Licensing and Firearms Units over the phone and they assured me that I would be able to purchase ammo with my Non-Res CT Pistol Permit. It will be interesting to see what the actual stores say when I try to make a purchase.

No letters or notices have been sent to CT dealers. Trust me on that.

Unless you stop by Middletown, CT and pay for an ammo permit at the office of public protection lol. I got mine before I got the CT nonresident license and it was pretty painless aside from paying $25.
