State Laws to be aware of: CT does have an "Assault Weapon" Ban that is SIGNIFICANTLY MORE STRICT than the expired Federal AWB. For example, rifles are banned by name and include the "Colt AR-15" and "AK-47", among others. Semiautomatic rifles are also banned by features. However, there is no magazine capacity restriction. Folks, please be careful with this. For a complete list of banned-by-name rifles and feature restrictions, you may check CT laws here:
