Bill > HB05631

This bill proposes to amend Connecticut's existing statutes to require the state to establish reciprocity agreements with the other New England states (Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine) regarding pistol and revolver carry permits. Specifically, the bill would mandate that Connecticut recognize concealed carry permits issued by these neighboring states, effectively allowing individuals with valid carry permits from those states to legally carry their firearms in Connecticut. This type of reciprocity agreement is designed to provide consistency in gun carry regulations across state lines and enhance the mobility of permit holders within the New England region. The bill aims to create a mutual recognition system for firearm carry permits, which would mean that a permit from, for example, Rhode Island would be considered valid and legally recognized when the permit holder is in Connecticut.
