First, I must say that I am glad that I found this forum. Reading the posts here helped me to distinguish SOME of the gun laws there in CT.
I'm hoping that I can solicit some information. I'm moving this week to Bristol. Being from Colorado, I have more than a handful of handguns, shotguns, and rifles (luckily none of the rifles are those EVIL "black rifles"). I'll apply for my pistol permit as soon as I get my feet on the ground, but I'm sure that I'll have to obtain my CT driver's license first and HOPE that my training courses from Colorado and Utah suffice for Connecticut. Otherwise I'll have to shell out more time and money for an additional course there. Still, at a minimum, I understand that I'll be walking around "naked" for a few months.
Q1) I am aware that I need a license to buy a new handgun or/and one to take my gun to the range, but am I legally safe just moving to CT with my already legally purchased handguns and keeping them in my house until I get my permit?
Q2) Any info on Bristol in issuing licenses? The info on the BPD website looked pretty straight forward; I just hope that they don't sit on paperwork there.
I appreciate any information...and if it's bring lube, because I'm about to get f$#ked by gun laws/taxes/etc, well, I already have that in the back of head.
Thanks,
Phil
