Hello guys and girls. I was born in CT and left at 18 to join the service (active duty-USAF). After almost ten years around the world, and living most recently (and currently) in Florida, an extremely pro-Second Amendment state, I am in need of some help. Going from the ability to owning anything I can imagine, to a AWB state is quite daunting. I HAVE ready the state's AWB definitions rather thoroughly (http://www.jud.ct.gov/lawlib/law/firearms.htm), but I think it would be great to have access to a list of semi-auto pistol and rifle TYPES/STYLES for viewing. Maybe like a sticky? I probably know THE LEAST OF YOU ALL on CT gun rules, so correct away as needed and explain WHY something is wrong please so we know. If you can add to this list, we'll have a reference we can use as long as nothing changes with the laws of course. It will be just that, for reference ONLY. I'm not looking for a list of every gun made that can be owned in CT (unless you have a lot of time on your hands and are bored ), but something with commonly bought semi-automatic ONLY guns like this:
Pistols-
Cans:
-Any pistol that is not specifically banned on the CT Judicial branch Assault Weapon Ban list, or having TWO or more "banned features"
-pretty much any current normal police/military pistol is o.k. as long as it doesn't violate the above restrictions
-suppressor ready (threaded) pistols o.k., as long as under 50oz unloaded
-basically, if it fits in a duty style holster being currently produced today, you should be o.k. as long as it doesn't violate the above restrictions. If it looks like a police officer or military member would wear it on their side for duty, it should be o.k.
-Desert Eagle without threaded barrrel
Can not’s:
-AR-type pistols
-MAC 10/11's
-Desert Eagle's with threaded barrel (since the weight of this pistol exceeds 50oz unloaded)
-AK type pistols (multiple "banned" features and banned type)
-Thompson pistols
-HK/Vector 51 style pistols (since the weight of this pistol exceeds 50oz unloaded, and multiple "banned" features)
Rifles-
Cans:
-M4/AR15 style rifles, with a few restrictions, as long as it doesn't violate the above restrictions
-AR10 rifles as long as it doesn't violate the above restrictions
-FAL style rifles (NON FN BRAND ONLY!!!) as long as it doesn't violate the above restrictions
-HK 91/93/94 style rifles (NON HK BRAND ONLY!!!), PTR, JLP, CETME, etc. as long as it doesn't violate the above restrictions
-M1, M1A, M14 as long as it doesn't violate the above restrictions
Can not’s:
-It's easier to read the list of specifically banned guns here: http://www.jud.ct.gov/JI/criminal/glossary/assaultweapon.htm . Paragraph 1.
-Having two or more "banned" features also make the gun banned.
