Public Act No. 13-3
In response to the Sandy Hook tragedy, former Governor Malloy signed Public Act No.13-3 (An Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety) into law on April 4, 2013. This law was able to be passed without being voted on due to claiming an Emergency Order, even though no state of emergency was declared. This law went into effect the following day and resulted in sweeping restrictions on most commonly owned firearms for legal gun owners. Some of the most notable restrictions are listed below. We encourage you to review this act for yourself by following the the links provided.
