A federal judge granted Glock, Shadow Systems, and a gun industry trade group a preliminary injunction blocking Connecticut's looming ban on such pistols as "likely unconstitutional."
As previously reported by Guns.com, two different federal lawsuits were filed against the state last week, seeking to short-circuit HB 5043/ Public Act 26-41, a measure banning so-called "convertible pistols."
U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley sided with the gun companies and the National Shooting Sports Foundation against the state, saying plainly that “… the Court concludes that Plaintiffs have met their burden of establishing a likelihood of success on the merits. The statute is presumptively unconstitutional, and Defendants have not met their burden of demonstrating that the statute is consistent with our nation’s history of firearms regulation."
