Hi all,
I just thought I'd share an interesting development in the push back against PA 13-3 that essentially outlawed all future ownership of AR15s or any other pistol gripped, semi-auto, detachable magazine centerfire rifles.
Its from the Freedom Shoppe.
This is it:
PA 13-3 defines an AW as any semi-auto firearm with a detachable mag that . . .
Then it goes on to apply restriction to rifles, shotguns, and handguns.
This firearm is legal because it is none of the above.
It is not a handgun because CT law defines a handgun as any firearm with a barrel length of less than 12 inches.
Its not a rifle because CT law defines a rifle as any firearm intended to be shot from the shoulder.
Its not a shotgun because is discharges a single projectile.
So its a firearm, but not a pistol, rifle or shotgun.
Link to definitions. Go to paragraph 16 and read from there. https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_950.htm
There are only restrictions on pistols, rifles, or shotguns in PA13-3.
What this item is though is an Any Other Weapon (AOW) per the ATF. That means it is an NFA item and requires the issuance of a tax stamp. Fortunately an AOW stamp is only $5 plus a 4 month wait.
Beautiful huh?
