    you live in one of the smallest states in the union... you could move three states over and still only have a 15 minute commute

    Well, this is all very amusing but look back at how the thread started. I never complained about the RIDICULOUS law I simply asked for an alternative. I think it takes courage to relocate and develop new friendships and start a new job. For that I give you credit. Try it again in a few years once you have a family. On the bright side, you may now legally own a gun with a bayonet lug and a flash suppressor.

    As opposed to what - the West Coast, 2/3 of which is comprised of Kalifornia?

    Most of the East Coast is actually fine as far as guns go. Everything south of Maryland is fine. Maine, NH, VT, PA are all fine as well. It's those crappy little states inbetween that are the problem.

    You don't have to live on a coast.

    ETA: The Gulf Coast is an exception.

    If you post all of the regulations for your state, we might be able to offer more help.

    If you got a hold of a pre-ban receiver, is it legal to put the rest of the naughty stuff on it?

    My thinking is that you maybe you could buy a 6920 from Grant and have him strip the components off of it and put them on a pre-ban receiver. It may devalue the gun but if you had to have a 6920 then that's the way I would do it.

    About moving: I lived in the Chicago suburbs for twenty years, and don't anymore.

    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.
    Someone rang?

    I would not buy a house in a state that has shit gun laws in the first place.

    Kind of ironic that you can't own a gun made in the very state you live in. I'm another transplant. Moved from MA to AZ after the attorney general decided what guns were safe or not safe for me to own in MA. Glad I got out because they still enforce the AWB like CT.

    It's a little different if you are born in raised in that state. To uproot and leave friends and family behind is not always an option.
