I have recently been offered a job with Department of Corrections. I decided to look into SB1160 to see what benefits I would receive by being employed with the state. Couple questions:
1.) I will be able to purchase and carry LCM off duty? ( I noticed today the section regarding the loading of no more than 10rds, no mag exceeding below the grip section has been removed since I last read this few weeks ago.)
2.) I will be able to purchase assault rifles?
2b.) if purchasing assault rifle, does this open up the door to be able to purchase any of the assault rifles on the Ban list, since all models of assault rifles are now banned?
Here are the sections in order of appearing in the bill relating to my questions of Department of Corrections exemptions:
Section 1. Section 29-37a of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective from passage):
(a) For the purposes of this section, "long gun" means a firearm, as defined in section 53a-3, other than a pistol or revolver.
(b) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (2) of this subsection, no person, firm or corporation may sell, deliver or otherwise transfer, at retail, any long gun to any person under eighteen years of age.
(2) No person, firm or corporation may sell, deliver or otherwise transfer, at retail, any semi-automatic centerfire rifle that has or accepts a magazine with a capacity exceeding five rounds to any person under twenty-one years of age. The provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to the sale, delivery or transfer of such a rifle to any person who is a member or employee of an organized local police department, the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection or the Department of Correction or a member of the military or naval forces of this state or of the United States for use in the discharge of their duties.
