Legislative Update: Glock Ban and Parts Bill Updates
The race is on! Spring may be here but we are TURNING UP THE HEAT and continuing the fight in Hartford. After our March 11th Gun Bill Hearing, it would appear we have stopped H.B. 5436! This bill, which defined barrels, slides, and cylinders as firearms DID NOT make it out of committee. Thank you to our members who submitted testimony and showed to testify in person. However, the fight is not over yet! The Glock Ban passed committee on 3/22, and we must continue to fight it tooth-and-nail. There are only 3 weeks left in the legislative session and time is running out!
“What can I do?”
On Wednesday, April 22nd we will be hosting a Lobby Day at the Capitol from 11a-3p. A pro-2A rally, INSIDE the buildings where the laws are made, DURING the hours the lawmakers are in the building. We expect the Glock Ban to go to a House vote in the coming weeks.
- We will be meeting with legislators and explaining the impact of CT’s overreaching on gun laws on law-abiding gun owners.
- If you will attend, PLEASE reach out to your legislator’s office and schedule a meeting for 4/22.
- Experienced volunteers from CCDL will be available to support you, and we will provide talking points to all attendees to provide to your legislator.
- Look for an Action Alert in the coming days for more information.
