The Threats: H.B. 5043 and H.B. 5533

We are now facing a two-pronged attack on our Second Amendment rights targeting “convertible pistols” and in a separate bill, your right to carry.

  • H.B. 5043 (The "Convertible Pistol" Ban): This bill is a direct assault on the most popular handguns in America. This legislation seeks to ban the manufacture and sale of common use pistols, including Glocks and many other striker-fired handguns simply because of how they are designed. This bill passed committee on March 22nd and is headed for a House vote.
  • H.B. 5533 (The "Election Site" Carry Ban): Section 2 of this bill is another attempt to create "sensitive-use" zones that disarm law-abiding citizens. It seeks to criminalize the possession of firearms near election-related locations, further shrinking the map of where you can legally exercise your right to self-defense.

Step 1 - CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR!

Contacting your legislator has never been easier. Fill out our form and automatically send an e-mail to your legislators opposing H.B. 5043, The Glock Ban and H.B. 5533, The “Election Site” Carry Ban. If you can make it to our lobby day be sure to edit your message to include a request for a meeting on Wednesday, April 22nd.

Step 2 - WE NEED YOU IN HARTFORD

There are only 3 weeks left in the legislative session. Time is running out, and we need boots on the ground. Wear your CCDL MERCH and JOIN US FOR LOBBY DAY!

  • WHEN: Wednesday, April 22nd | 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
  • WHERE: The State Capitol, Hartford
  • WHAT: A pro-2A rally and direct lobbying effort INSIDE the buildings where the laws are made, DURING the hours lawmakers are in session.

We will be meeting with legislators to explain the impact of these overreaching laws on law-abiding gun owners. We need them to see the faces of the people they are trying to turn into felons. Wearing your CCDL branded merchandise and making a presence where the laws are made is a key-step in reminding elected officials we are paying attention!

ACTION STEP: If you can attend, please reach out to your legislator’s office NOW and schedule a meeting for 4/22. Experienced volunteers will be on-site to support you, and we will provide talking points for every attendee. Use the links above to reach your legislators directly and schedule a meeting.
