Hello all. Left CT a long time ago for the free state of Florida. But I visit from time to time, since my daughter and grandchildren are there. I have an FL permit, even though it is not needed here. I sent a request and received all the paperwork to obtain a ct non resident permit. Mailed it all back today. To Middletown. Wonder if anyone else has done this and what was there turn around times ?
Thanks

Did that store in Canton ever open? CT Valley Firearms or something like that?

Many folks in the CT subreddit believe cops are more qualified to own guns than civilians. Which is why they are okay with cops having access to different firearms than civs.

What if we had a competition and whooped the cops ass annually with our CT pleb firearms and rules? Could do a lot to changing the public perception that civs aren’t trained enough to own guns.

Was inspired by this post where the meriden cop missed 16 rounds from 4-12 yards. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbGEoX4xxK6/?igsh=MXRwb3lyOGw4cTF6ZQ==

Thoughts?

Prime example of why law abiding citizens need mags over 10 rounds.

I have an EPS Carry on the way (had to jump on a sweet deal) and want to get my slide cut for it and likely cerakote. I'm in the Granby area but don't mind driving a bit. I like shopping local if the work done is good! Thank you for any input or recommendations.

So the time has finally come to clear out the cabinet..... so I can fill it again.....

Anyway, I would really prefer to be able to dump everything all at once but that means a gun store. I'm looking at 5 or 6 pistols and probably 2 or 3 long guns. Armslist is a pain in the ass but I will get better prices. Gunbroker means I have to ship everything and the long guns are not an option for shipping due to size. So, anyone in central CT that is reasonable for buying guns? Hoffman's is not an option and the last time I tried the gun store they low balled me so hard it was disgusting. I know dealers have to make money too but there is a reasonable limit.

Any good suggestions would be appreciated.

Which store front is the best to go for scopes? Would they help mount them?

Looking for your best recommendations for a gun store local to central CT but willing to travel. Have a general idea of what I’m looking for, this is will be my first purchase. Any tips are helpful, thanks!

My felony (minor possession charge from 2013) was removed by the clean slate act. I cannot find it anywhere neither did my most recent employer (march) does anyone know if I qualify for a permit now or am I still fucked? The amount of my possession was changed to a misdemeanor in 2015. It was 8 dollars worth of opiates because I was young dumb kid. Just curious into any insight anyone might have.

To anyone that has recently gotten their permit, how are the lines at despp. Asking for a friend who is going tm morning.

After buying my rifles (Ruger Carbine 9mm & 10/22) in May I finally had a day to go to High Rock. Even though they aren’t your standard rifle ammo they made me shoot at least 25 yards. I couldn’t really see the holes. I primarily go there because I like it there it’s affordable and you are relaxed not worrying about staying so late you pay a fortune.

So should I get scopes?

Came across an unfired Gen 2. Still has copper paste on the slide. Agreed to buy it from a coworker. Didn't realize it was gen 2 until I met up with him at an FFL for the transfer. Got it for a great deal but after seeing condition and looking it up, i feel guilty ruining a collector item. No mags but original Tupperware manual, brush etc. 0 interest in keeping as a collector piece. Any LGS in southern CT area that would be interested in a collector item or do I just run it and ruin the value?

Glocks are marked up since the bill was signed. My local shop is charging $750 for a 19 Gen6. I can get it online for $620, but then it’d need to be shipped and the three 15-round magazines would need to be made Connecticut-compliant. Should I just bite the bullet (pun not intended) and get it here? This would be my first gun, so I’m not totally sure how online sales work.

Looking for my first pistol. Initially home defense with maybe concealed carry in the future. Interested in anyone’s experience with the Mete MC 9LS

At this point it’s comical. I did the Dudley Do-Right thing and registered back in December of 2024. And I haven’t heard boo about anything other than they received it and is pending.

I know the system is inept, but I didn’t think it was that inept. Am I the only one still without?

Hi, I know this has been asked before, but I just wanted to double check and make sure that it is still the case that we can have non-threaded barrels and slides shipped directly to us. Thanks in advance!

Not that the split matters now for the AWB, but good progress for mags and could make Viramontes include them.

Any legal experts want to chime in if we will be able to get the mp7 clone. One can hope scotus does us right and we dont have to ask.

Hi guys for past few days I tried few tines to go online to renew my permit but everytime I try the website freezes and I can’t get past log it. Did it happen to any of you ?

If I were to move out of state with CT-registered assault weapons and move back to CT later on, are the registrations still valid? Or if I move out of state and change my address to the other state, but store my registered firearms either on property I own but do not live at in CT, or on family property, is the registration still honored?

Moving from VT to CT next month, I own various hand guns and rifles. Is it worth all the paperwork to make it legal to have them or am I better off selling them before moving?

Nothing crazy, couple of glocks, AR type rifles, some rim fire stuff

As much as we hate on Hoffman’s they are cheaper than most shops in the state. Are there any shops that price match? I’d rather give my business to the smaller guys but sometimes their prices are 10-20% higher than Hoffman’s.
