Bill > HB06620

This bill modifies existing Connecticut law to allow legal transfers of specific types of firearms and magazines between individuals who already legally possess them. Specifically, people who have a "certificate of possession" for an assault weapon can now transfer that weapon to another person with a similar certificate, but only through a federally licensed firearms dealer. Similarly, individuals who have previously "declared possession" of large capacity magazines can transfer those magazines to another person who has also declared possession, again only through a federally licensed firearms dealer. The bill does not change the underlying restrictions on assault weapons or large capacity magazines, but instead creates a narrow pathway for transferring ownership between current legal possessors. This provision appears designed to provide flexibility for owners of these regulated items while maintaining existing regulatory oversight by requiring transfers to go through licensed dealers.
