The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 269, aims to amend chapter 529 of the general statutes by requiring the state to actively pursue and enter into reciprocity agreements with other states regarding permits to carry a pistol or revolver. This means that a permit issued in this state would be recognized in other states, facilitating the ability for individuals to carry firearms across state lines.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that emphasizes the state's obligation to establish these reciprocity agreements. The intent behind this legislation is to enhance gun permit reciprocity, thereby allowing for greater recognition of permits issued in Connecticut by other states.
