SLFU has posted the following information on 2023 assault weapon registration:
https://portal.ct.gov/DESPP/Division-of-State-Police/Special-Licensing-and-Firearms/Special-Licensing-and-Firearms Effective 9/14/2023, SLFU has opened an online portal for you to register your “2023 assault weapon” pursuant to PA 23-53. This registration will need to be completed by 5/1/2024. For the most recent version of the Assault Weapon Certificate Application (DPS-414c) click HERE. For the instructions on how to complete the online AW registration, click HERE. To access the online registration portal, click HERE. This process can still be completed by mail; however, it is STRONGLY recommended that you utilize the online portal. ------------------------------------------------------------ Updated DPS-414-C (Rev. 08/16/23) PDF form: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/DESPP/SLFU/firearms/DPS-414-C-Assault-Weapon-Certificate-Application-revised-8-16-23.pdf Online Assault Weapon Application How-to PDF: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/DESPP/SLFU/firearms/AW-how-to-PDF.pdf Online Portal Link ------------------------------------------------------------ Notes: The DPS-414-C form does not need to be notarized! PA 23-53 removed that requirement. If you do a sworn affidavit that will likely still need to be notarized. One can roll their own fingerprints on the DPS-414-C form. One can buy a ink pad on Amazon or at a local business supply store like Staples. Do a few practice attempts before attempting to roll your fingerprint on the form. They likely won't accept smudged fingerprints. |

Well, this confirms the state has a true registration in place, unlike what many people assumed. Just created an account and I see all of the firearms I bought in CT. What's worse, they have added to my registry a Colt 223 I don't actually own. And one of my Glocks is entered as "Galena Industries". Seriously, WTF?? how can you correct those inaccuracies? Especially the firearm I don't own, this is so fkd up.

One of my guns listed has a cert number when it’s not a gun I ever submitted one for…great job.
|
|
|
can we register pistols so we can use threaded barrels on them? or is that a no-no because those were banned in 2013 and it might look fishy trying...even if you dont own the barrel yet, or have a pin/welded muzzle device and would like to remove it.

Should I Still donate $$$$ to try and stop all of this?

They are missing several of mine and they have a few that I no longer own on there. I sold a SKS many years ago and bought a new sr22 when they first came out. They have the SR22 on there but never took off the SKS. Yes it was at a FFL.

It looks like a DPS-3 database pull, and like all government databases it's inaccurate as hell. They probably just assigned any recorded DPS-3s to you, because I doubt they set it up to take items off. I suspect they only track DPS-3s for their registry.

But, isn't all this a dog and pony show? they KNOW what everyone already has (besides the inaccuracies) and they know because they have records of those DPS3 forms. So, since the registry exists and they have everything they need why the f*** are people required to "register"? How will they hold people non-compliant when they are already compliant since their guns are registered already? Seriously, there are no words to describe this circus and the clowns that rule our lives. |

So with these certs that I hate even exist can we file for real SBR stamps on our others now and then put stocks and shorter barrels on them?

No because it is a postban postban Others have been others, not postban rifles, up until 6667 passed. Once an AW cert is issued from here on, you can Form 1 etc. All those people who Form 1'd their others under the ATF brace rule, can now put stocks on them as soon as they obtain a state AW cert. But, I may be wrong. |

My list is a mess. Guns I sold years ago are on it, names are wrong, and it is missing lots of stuff.
The one thing that is kind of odd is a gun I bought face to face before things got bad is on the list. I haven't verified the serial number but the make and model is right. Wonder how they got that one? |

But they are all conditionally granted. So wood adding a stockem change the condition of grantedness? |

View Quote If I recall correctly, I dont think the law specifically says that once registered they must remain in "other" configuration as they were on/prior to 6/6/23. but good luck getting SLFU to clarify. I think its 2013 all over again. once registered to be assaulty... thats how I see it, but im just a dude on the internet. |

For ~20yrs now, I've been doing annual foia requests to see the records they have on me. It has never been correct. Guns have disappeared, only to reappear years later. Information has mysteriously changed, like serials and models. How does that even happen? Guns I've never even owned have appeared in my file. My ex-bil gave me (legal, private transfer) a Rem700 after he dropped and broke my video camera from a treestand. Years later, post-divorce, the cops came to me looking for it. Even after showing a dps3c (from when I traded it in) they didn't believe me because the state records had a different serial. The cop finally reasoned with logic and left (never heard anything again about it). |

DEEP/SLFU issued guidance before 6667 was passed that Others should stay in Other config, even if people got tax amnesty Form 1's approved by the ATF. This all went down backwards, as in normal times you would first get a AW cert for a preban/registered rifles to then Form 1 them. We got caught up in a real s-storm and people ended up with Form 1's for non-SBRs. Now, post 6667, you still need that AW cert, but your Form 1 is at least ready. And it's a all smoke and mirrors, since the state has registered everything for us already. We are in an infinite loop of stupidity. |

Unfortunately, this time around many people can get knocks on the door by not-so-reasonable law enforcers. |

Mine shows no guns. What's also encouraging is they couldn't find my profile with my pistol permit number. Sent early June. Supposedly working through mid July renewals. No way to check.

That's what I'm also wondering. Its a giant question mark that I don't think there is an answer to yet. Probably won't know until someone tries it this time around. Last time, back in 2013, some people were able to register just the threaded barrel as an assault weapon. This time around we just don't know how strict SLFU will be on what they allow be registered. Technically, per the wording of PA 23-53, only those firearms deemed 2023 assault weapons per the "other" and "preban" language added by Pa 23-53 are supposed to be registered this time around. Preban pistols with threaded barrels fall into a gray area due to not meeting the two evil features for the new preban 2023 assault weapon language, but a the same time violating the separate single feature ban for pistols now that the preban statute has been repealed. Its a cluster fuck of confusion. Won't know the answer until a bunch of people are successfully able to register the threaded barrel pistols. |

Are registered in 2013 rifles supposed to be reregistered?

Originally Posted By lafd04: Are registered in 2013 rifles supposed to be reregistered? View Quote No. They have already been registered. The new registration is for firearms deemed "2023 assault weapons" by the newly added feature ban sections for "others" and prebans. If one has a firearm deemed a "2023 assault weapon" and they previously obtained a certificate of possession for that firearm, they do not need to re-register their firearm. From PA 23-53, page 59-60: "(5) Any person who obtained a certificate of possession for an assault weapon, as defined in any provision of subparagraphs (A) to (F), inclusive, of subdivision (1) of section 53-202a, as amended by this act, prior to the effective date of this section, that is also a 2023 assault weapon shall be deemed to have obtained a certificate of possession for such assault weapon for the purposes of sections 53-202a to 53-202k, inclusive, as amended by this act, and shall not be required to obtain a subsequent certificate of possession for such assault weapon." |

Well this is something, finally checked site out.
I have a random .22 assigned to me that I've never heard of, and another rifle has the caliber larger than that of a battleship from WWII. Apparently just viewing a detail submission creates a new 'pending' entry record too on your account...this was clearly designed by TOP men. I sure feel safer. |

View Quote If they manufactured, owned or purchased the "other" prior to 6/7/23 they can submit an application for the firearm. If the firearm is home made they should have, or may have to, contact the state about a serial number if the "other" receiver/lower lacks a serial number. One of the options when filing an assault weapon certificate either online or by mail is to submit a sworn affidavit (basically a notarized document) attesting that one "lawfully owned" the firearm prior to 6/7/23. See the "How-To" register doc from SLFU and how to access the online portal for submitting an application: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/DESPP/SLFU/firearms/AW-how-to-PDF.pdf https://portal.ct.gov/DESPP/Division-of-State-Police/Special-Licensing-and-Firearms/Special-Licensing-and-Firearms The Assault Weapon Certificate Application (DPS-414c) form: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/DESPP/SLFU/firearms/DPS-414-C-Assault-Weapon-Certificate-Application-revised-8-16-23.pdf |

I established my account and so far I don't own a single firearm in CT and never have. I'm OK, though, because they're "working on it". In the meantime, I'm submitting my applications the old-fashioned paper way.

Should whoever made the website be public record? I'd love to know so that we never contract them for work, and also so that we can see what if any relationship(s) they have to any members of the government or law enforcement. I'm also curious how much they were paid.

Doing my other paper work and came across this thread looking for the form, it’s infuriating living here. We need to register something for certification which is already registered which will be featured on a registry for all to see. Wish one of these orgs would help CT.

View Quote One is registering the AW to retain legal possession of it. Where as the initial registration (DPS-3-C) is for transfer/purchase. One reason for the AW registration is to get those AW firearms not registered via DPS-3-C into the state's databases. There are a number of ways a firearm isn't in the state's weapon's registry. From one being old enough to have purchased the firearm prior to the DPS-3-C being required for transfer. To moving into CT with a firearm that is later deemed an AW. |
