NH resident traveling to CT for the weekend

[Swoledier]

Hi everyone. I am from NH and I have a carry permit. I am traveling to CT tomorrow for a weightlifting competition and will be staying overnight. I obviously don't want to travel without my weapon but I want to make sure I am compliant with the laws. I know CT does not recognize my carry permit, so I was wondering if someone could fill me in on the laws pertaining to a out-of-state resident in possession of a firearm. I do not plan on carrying on my person, but I would like it in my possession. Thanks for the help.

Long guns that comply with their new ban are ok. Pistols aren't allowed unless you have a non-res carry permit (even if unloaded and locked up).

Welcome to the forum.

If your young and strong enough to lift you don't need a gun here.

Don't walk the streets in Hartford!

Stop at the Cabelas in E. Hartford.

Going to hell in a hand basket, so to speak.

Exactly. Any long gun. Rifle or shotgun can be possessed any way, anyhow, anywhere in a vehicle, as long as its not loaded.
you could hold an unloaded mossberg cruiser on your lap while driving and would be legal. Once you get out of the vehicle, you can walk down the street with the mossberg loaded.

I used to say you could drive down the road with an AR15 in one hand and a loaded beta mag in the other and as long as you didn't put the mag in the well, you were legal. But the new AWB changed all that.

So you are going to "Pick things up and Put them down"!

Maybe I am dense but I don't get that statement.

Translation: Big, strong weight lifters don't need no stink'n gun to protect themselves.
