Well I am moving out of NJ.  Believe it or not CT has worse gun laws in some ways than NJ.

 

I have read the laws and I still cannot understand all the legalese.

 

Tell me please

1)can I drive into Ct with my guns into my house and leave them there?

2) Do I need to be registered/permitted just to own the guns?

3)What do I need in order to go to the range?

 

I have no assault rifles and I am trying to convert down to 10 round pistol mags.

When are you planning to move? Get your CT pistol (carry) permit first as a NJ resident. It takes about 8 weeks. You can change your address afterwards. Take the NRA basic pistol course, because that's what you'll need.

 

I would contact the guys at CCDL to see if they have any specific info. www.ccdl.us

Easy sell them all before you leave.

The biggest problem with moving your firearms to CT is that litle strip of NY you have to (VERY CAREFULLY) drive thru.  New York as almost as little respect for the Federal Firearms Owners Protection Act as New Jersey has.

If you don't mind what town are you moving to?

 

You can actually move with your firearms without paperwork but any "Assault weapons" have to be sold in 90 days. Their definition is stricter now with the new laws.

 

To carry you need a state permit to carry but it is a two step process. You first get a local permit then you get the state permit. Nonresidents skip that and get the state permit, then when you move you file a change of address.
