The law prohibits possession, sale, etc of this rifle within CT.
Just because your friend lives in CT does not make it illegal for him to own or possess the AR in states where it is legal.
Why can't he simply drive to a free state and sell the gun to a dealer?
I'm not seeing how his possession of the AR somewhere outside of CT could serve as evidence of possession within CT. If someone wanted to pursue it, it would not be your friend's job to prove he didn't possess it in CT, but the state's job to prove he did.
Theoretically, your friend could have owned this rifle all along outside the state and just decided to sell with the rise in prices.
I'm still not sure it's a crime to sell it outside CT. Clearly keeping it is an ongoing violation, but is terminating that ongoing violation a new crime? (as long as the sale is done according to Fed law)
I'm not giving advice here, I'm asking a question. Perhaps one of the lawyer types here knows...
