CT laws on transporting and storage of handguns
I've searched for the particular laws but, alas, I couldn't find any on my particular questions.
I have a carry permit. I know I can keep a loaded gun on my person, but what if I keep it not directly in my control - such as in a duffel bag on the way to the range or something? Does this matter? What if I keep the loaded gun in my locked car when I'm not there? Also at home, do I need to keep it locked up? Do I need a trigger lock or whatever? I think no, but I haven't found anything stating the actual laws. What if I keep a loaded firearm in my night stand without a trigger lock. Is this actually legal? Do I legally need to lock it up when it's not in my control (ie. when I'm not at home)? |

Thank you Aquila Blanca. I have no children that apply. Can you quote the specific law(s) that apply? What if my friend's kid happens to be at my home?

Google is your friend.

And I've been told that the new anti-gun law that Connecticut passed in April raised the age to 19. I'm surprised that isn't reflected in the on-line statute ... so perhaps that's not correct. |
