    It was a joke. However, if you want to delve into it; I'm sure we can come up with some convincing arguments. Doubt you want to ruin your thread though.

    There are lots of states I won't live in or move to for just that reason. So, yes, I would look for a way out of CT if I were in your shoes. Maybe not just drop everything overnight but would leave CT at the first opportunity.

    With regards your question: find someone in CT who is very knowledgable about the law so that you can know exactly what is and what is not allowed. Lots of places have lots of loopholes etc. For example, with so called grandfather "pre ban" guns etc.

    Yes, actually. I did it.

    Some of us think living under the thumb of an oppressive state government is lunacy. \There was a state "assault rifle" ban enacted, and I decided right then that the East coast could kiss my ass.

    I would be receptive to many of those arguments but at my age I'm vehemently opposed to starting over in a new location. Thank You all for your useful comments. I've already initiated the search for a Colt MT6400C.

    Can I purchase Quality parts without the egregious features and assemble something nice that will be legal in Connecticut ? Any advice would be much appreciated.
    From what I understand, the state specifically names both Colt and Bushmaster in their ban list. Other makers are okay so either an LMT BCM or any other manufacturer should be okay.

    CAVEAT: I am not nor will I ever be a lawyer so take it FWIW.

    You're kidding , right ? You actually sold your home and uprooted your family because of the passage of one law. A little perspective please. Is your employment easy to relocate ?

    While I do not have a family, I did that just over 9-years ago. I escaped the Kommunist State of Maryland when they passed that stupid "Ballistic Fingerprinting" law and have not looked back. It was one of the best moves I ever made.

    I guess it's a matter of priorities. If your priority is to maintain a stable family life right where you are at the price of your individual liberty then more power to you. Just don't be complaining how ridiculous the laws are where you live.

    It's still (mostly) a free country. You still have the option of leaving a state that cares little for you or your family's welfare. JM2CW.

    I did it as well. I was tired of Californias ridiculous and continually oppressive gun laws, population, home prices, gas prices, etc.... So we moved to Arizona.

    Yes, I did. My employment is based on my skills and education, and it's portable. And it wasn't just one law, that law was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. No CCW, no right to self-defense, and no un-neutered weapons and no NFA? Bye.

    This.

    And don't kid yourself. That's exactly the bargain you're making (if you're awake and know the difference).
