Ah 94', was it the federal that was 92' then? Either way, point is not to interpret as pre 2012-13 ban. It's incredible to me how such convoluted and arbitrary laws can make someone a Felon in NY, NJ, CA and CT. I can't imagine how many people don't even know the amount of laws they're breaking by moving here with the collection they "inherited from daddy".
Yes, its all very convoluted.
Sec. 53-202m. Circumstances when assault weapons exempt from limitations on transfers and registration requirements. Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, sections 53-202a to 53-202l, inclusive, shall not be construed to limit the transfer or require the registration of an assault weapon as defined in subdivision (3) or (4) of subsection (a) of section 53-202a of the general statutes, revision of 1958, revised to January 1, 2013, provided such firearm was legally manufactured prior to September 13, 1994.

Oh right, right, right. My mistake Officer, I was thinking of 53-202B subdivision FIVE. I apologize, please don't arrest me for felony firearms possession charges, I just moved here from [insert 1 of 45 states here] 2 months ago and had no idea.

+1 jojos. On my way there tomorrow to pick up a new gun. Two new ones actually--I always buy two when the one I actually wanted turns out to be illegal in CT, this way there's net change is always at least one more "gun on the streets" as a result of their laws hehe. I look forward to the days when my budget can support 3+ for every one...

This is EXACTLY why we need a national reciprocity CCW bill.
Luckily, many think there is a good chance of this happening within the next few years with the new administration AND congress, because we are all soooo much safer when law abiding citizens who have CCW permits suddenly become felons, simply from crossing into a state that doesn't respect the 2nd amendment
Not sure because there is no registration mechanism in place. Could you build it to be compliant? Maybe, however, I vaguely recall fixed mags or spur stocks being a no-go, but I'm far from expert there--I'm just stock piling the rifle budget for when I move and will drop 5k the day I'm out. Though I imagine many of the 80% of folks who did not comply (that's correct, only ~20% registered in CT lol ) have built and will continue to build from 80% receivers--oops no sales tax on $1,000+ rifles. Then there's all the people who moved their guns out of state and once the water settled and it was exposed that registration was an epic failure, likely moved all those guns back in state.

Indeed, this is huge and if we can get congress to push through will almost certainly pass with control of both chambers of congress, executive office and soon to be courts. It makes me cringe that I have to leave my gun at home when traveling out of state, or risk ruining my entire life and career. With my wife now pregnant with my first born, it becomes quite the moral conundrum and makes me absolutely despise where I live.

As an ideal legal substitute to a firearm, I'd definitely recommend carrying this when traveling out of state.
This is much better than pepper spray since you don't have to worry about the wind blowing it back at you.
In fact, I prefer this to a firearm myself, simply because it will incapacitate an assailant almost as much as a gun, but will not kill them or cause permanent injury, which means that I'm NOT at all going to hesitate to use it if I feel even the least bit threatened unlike a gun.
