Here's a link to the actual proposed legislation: http://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/TOB/S/201...160-R00-SB.htm

If you take the time to look through it, it revises some existing sections of the state statutes and it adds a number of new sections to the statutes. I sincerely hope that the sane people of Connecticut will get help from the NRA and the Second Amendment Foundation to challenge some of these provisions in Federal court.

I need to spend a lot more time reading it. So far, what I see is that there doesn't appear to be any provision for people who already hold a handgun carry permit to be allowed to buy "long guns" under the new system. Same for buying ammunition. That means Connecticut residents will need to obtain, AND PAY FOR, three separate permits: One to carry a handgun, one to buy long guns, and a third to buy ammunition.

I can't wait to see what else is in there ...
