You know, some folks talk about how BAD Mass's Gun Laws are. If you're a Battle Rifle shooter, like I am, you'll find CT's laws to be WORSE. I checked before, and couldn't believe it.
List the Semi Autos you can own in CT. Then list the Semi Autos you can own in Mass. Which list is bigger?
CT is just plain outright weird. (And we thought MA was horrible!) Apparently, you can get AKs in 5.54 x 39 but
not in 7.62 x 39... and AR's are okay, just as long as theyre not made
by Colt and dont say "AR-15" on them. Very bizarre and
spastic. Apparently some guy from MA got arrested at a CT gun show
for offering a gun for sale which was not CT legal... Hard to believe
but true.
They also have this retarded restriction on Full Auto NFA guns... Machineguns in CT
cannot be "select fire" eg they cant have a burst pack or an S/E/F style lower in them...
its either SAFE or FULL. (Well, they can have SEF but the "E" cant work!) That's why you see ads
on some C3 boards like "HK MP5 - CT Neutered - w/original lower to convert back to normal in your state."
I don't see the logic there.... so I guess they don't like people to use single shots when a machinegun
is involved? Just nuts.
The laws in anti-states are just assinine. They're so screwed up to the extent that when you talk
to people that arent from here, about the laws... the other person is usually speechless because they
can't get over how dumb/bizarre the laws are in comparison to whatever the ones they deal with
locally. A friend of mine was absolutely DUMBFOUNDED when I told him you need a LICENSE to buy
ammo here. Ugh.
