Bill > HB05201

This bill proposes to modify Connecticut's existing firearm magazine regulations by expanding the definition of a "large capacity magazine" from the current ten-round limit to a fifteen-round limit. Specifically, the bill redefines what constitutes a large capacity magazine by increasing the threshold from magazines that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition to those that can hold more than fifteen rounds of ammunition. This change would effectively legalize the possession of magazines capable of holding up to fifteen rounds, which were previously classified as large capacity and potentially restricted. The bill aims to provide gun owners with more flexibility in magazine capacity while maintaining a limit on extremely high-capacity ammunition feeding devices. By raising the threshold from ten to fifteen rounds, the legislation seeks to balance gun owners' interests with potential public safety concerns.
