Does anyone have a recommendation for a place near Stamford CT I want to apply for my gun permit and need to do the safety course.

A question for anyone who is a member of the Hartford Gun club... How big is the club house? Do you think it is possible to work remote for a little while from it?

I ask because it is a 30 mins drive, and I mainly shoot during my lunch hour at work at a range 5 mins from my house. My job is not a typical 9-5, I work in sales with no defined hours.

Wanted to see if it was reasonable to drive there in the morning, work 2 hours, shoot and then drive home. My local gun club, this is okay and several people have done it - they even told us it was kosher in the orientation. I have no need because I am so close though.

I try to shoot 1-3 times a week - entirely dependent on my workload, some months I don't have any time to shoot but other months are slower.

Any insight is appreciated! The larger rifle ranges and action shooting are enticing. Currently I'm going to blue trail to do rifle shooting.

Can I take my CCW class with an active medical marijuana card then submit my application once it expires in Oct?

Thanks

I have a full rail trp operator I want to get cut for an SRO any places local in CT that can be trusted for this?

I’ve been putting together a couple of uppers and planning options for p&w muzzle devices, etc. But now I kinda wanna just wait and see, rather than butcher some rather expensive parts.

Something to be aware of.

Tong's request for proposal: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/ag/rfps/2026/rfp_2026-03_re_gun_violence_prevention_addendum_1.pdf

>The State of Connecticut, Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”), is seeking proposals to provide certain legal services to the State of Connecticut, under the strict supervision of the ATTORNEY GENERAL, with investigations, potential litigation and legislative proposals concerning gun violence prevention matters and firearms industry accountability, including actions pursuant to the ATTORNEY GENERAL’s authority under the state’s Firearms Industry Responsibility Act (“FIRA) and Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (“CUTPA”).

Just installed irons on my own for the first time, centered the best I can but my boresighter tells a very different story. Going to the range to figure this out today but I want to know my options.

They’ve been out since January.

Many folks in the CT subreddit believe cops are more qualified to own guns than civilians. Which is why they are okay with cops having access to different firearms than civs.

What if we had a competition and whooped the cops ass annually with our CT pleb firearms and rules? Could do a lot to changing the public perception that civs aren’t trained enough to own guns.

Was inspired by this post where the meriden cop missed 16 rounds from 4-12 yards. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbGEoX4xxK6/?igsh=MXRwb3lyOGw4cTF6ZQ==

Thoughts?

Prime example of why law abiding citizens need mags over 10 rounds.

Looking for your best recommendations for a gun store local to central CT but willing to travel. Have a general idea of what I’m looking for, this is will be my first purchase. Any tips are helpful, thanks!

So the time has finally come to clear out the cabinet..... so I can fill it again.....

Anyway, I would really prefer to be able to dump everything all at once but that means a gun store. I'm looking at 5 or 6 pistols and probably 2 or 3 long guns. Armslist is a pain in the ass but I will get better prices. Gunbroker means I have to ship everything and the long guns are not an option for shipping due to size. So, anyone in central CT that is reasonable for buying guns? Hoffman's is not an option and the last time I tried the gun store they low balled me so hard it was disgusting. I know dealers have to make money too but there is a reasonable limit.

Any good suggestions would be appreciated.

Did that store in Canton ever open? CT Valley Firearms or something like that?

Hello all. Left CT a long time ago for the free state of Florida. But I visit from time to time, since my daughter and grandchildren are there. I have an FL permit, even though it is not needed here. I sent a request and received all the paperwork to obtain a ct non resident permit. Mailed it all back today. To Middletown. Wonder if anyone else has done this and what was there turn around times ?
Thanks

Which store front is the best to go for scopes? Would they help mount them?
