AN ACT CONCERNING LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINES AND THE SALE OF AMMUNITION.

HB 7052 raises the legal limit for "large capacity magazines" from 10 to 15 rounds of ammunition, effective October 1, 2025. It directly affects most Connecticut residents who possess or sell such magazines, with exceptions for law enforcement, military personnel, and pre-2013 purchases (grandfathered under specific conditions). The bill makes selling, transferring, or possessing magazines holding more than 15 rounds a class D felony for ineligible gun owners, or a class A misdemeanor for eligible owners. It also specifies permitted possession by certain government agencies, licensed dealers, and gunsmiths for repair purposes.
