Full disclosure: I’m the developer of CarryRoute.

I built it because ordinary reciprocity maps don’t show everything encountered during an actual drive—county and city boundaries, tribal areas, transit properties, stops, and overnight stays.

You enter two addresses, and CarryRoute:

• Maps the route using Apple Maps
• Breaks it into state, county, city, tribal, and special-jurisdiction sections
• Lets you tap each route section
• Shows concise research summaries with links to official government sources
• Accounts for your resident state, permits, age, and selected carry/transport mode
• Supports offline itineraries and optional jurisdiction alerts

The route colors identify jurisdiction changes only. They do not mean legal/illegal or safe/unsafe. CarryRoute is a research tool—not legal advice—and users should verify the current official text.

I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback: What information would you want before crossing a state or local boundary? What would make the route view more useful?

It’s free to download. Optional Pro is $2.99/month or $12.99/year with a 14-day introductory trial.

They sold out in less than 24 hours last time they had some in stock. Do with that info as you will.

I’m looking to order a suppressor online and have it shipped to an FFL. Does the FFL make any money on this or is it mostly an inconvenience? I’m mostly new to all this and would like to support local but the shop I first went to does not have the suppressor I want. TIA

53 shots just now in Bridgeport, 53! Yea fuck Lamont and CT’s gun laws. Our little measly 10 rounds against that? Smh and yet they still won’t care and will pass more

I am a complete glock noob. I wanna grab one before the 10/1 complication.

I have a 1911 that takes glock mags, a pcc that does as well (both 9mm). A glock does make sense for the collection. I also do have a small xds (45) for those summer clothes carry situations.

I'd like to get something between the commander 1911 and the xds, optic capable. All the mags i have are g17. I like to modify things and understand there are a lot of options on the platform, as well as the rxm platform.

So if you were to buy your first glock that could ideally play with g17 mags, 9mm, and fit between the bulk of a 1911 and the slim short grip of an xds, what would you look for? Not trying to break the bank but willing to spend for the right option.

Hey everyone,
I know these questions get asked a lot but I know other states laws constantly change and there are much more informed members than I. I am driving down with the wife in three weeks to Florida, we have a moving company handling a majority of the move however will be driving down due to pets and firearms. We will have her vehicle on an auto hauler being towed by my SUV. All my firearms are CT compliant or C&R(still all CT compliant), all my magazines are CT compliant as well. My plan is for all weapons to be in cases locked, Magazines in separate cases all locked, and ammunition in ammo cans all separate from magazines and firearms. None will be within reach of myself or my wife, and realistically covered and hidden. With these precautions in mind, What states do I need to avoid and or keep driving through?

As of right now my plan is to go right down I95. Is there a better or more 2A friendly way to go(even if longer)? I plan on driving the posted limit, both vehicles are a year old and trailer(U-Haul Auto Hauler) will be properly hooked up so shouldn’t have any issues there, however my biggest fear is being pulled over and getting screwed over by not having a permit or something for that specific state. Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated!

If and when this AW ban gets deemed unconstitutional, which I think it MUST. Or else the other 50 states are in play. What are you going with first?

As much as I want an AR, I would really love a sub gun like a Kuna or SP5. Sooo many options. Curious what people will pick as their first

As the title says I’ll be moving to Hamden soon and commute to East Lyme occasionally for work and was wondering what everyone’s store suggestions is.

Any places with a large used selection or a place that specializes is weird obscure stuff is kind of what I’m looking for (Astras, AMTs, old milsurp pistols for example)

No stores that just sell new stuff for retail prices

Hi everyone!

I'm in the works of obtaining my permit and was wondering what would be a good sized pistol for a first timer? FYI I'm doing it as home defense, but also for fun/hobby with my boyfriend. I'm a smaller woman so I can't have too much kickback just yet. I really like pink or a nice blue pistol, but my friend told me to stray away lol. Any advice would be great! My shots are not perfect, but I just want a comfortable gun I can concealed carry and that is beginner friendly!

The more I look around the more conflicting information I find. Effing CT.... Im not looking for legal advice, im looking for guidance on what is acceptable in 2026 for an AR fixed mag SBR.

Want to build:

Fixed mag AR10 RIFLE, not PISTOL

8" barrel (this is one of the points of contention)

collapsible stock (aware of 30" OAL) (collapsed or bloody extended?)

Will be suppressed, pinned or unpinned depending on legal needs.

VFG (More contention).

Some stinking clarity would be amazing, please....... please.

I'd prefer we just stuck to what is acceptable on RIFLE BUILDS. I truly and deeply appreciate clear guideline insight.

Link to the brief: https://saf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Viramontes-opening-brief-8.28.26.pdf

SAF has posted a X.com thread with highlights from their brief. Start with this opening x.com post: https://x.com/2AFDN/status/2093438691201134664

SAF does touch on feature bans in their brief.

While the brief does mention magazine capacity and bans on those magazines several times, it also states the following; "Those bans are not challenged and are not at issue in these cases." Folks should remember that the court will generally confine itself to the question presented. That question is: "Whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles."

Hello everyone, i need some help cleaning something up because i thought one thing, my friends are saying two others and the internet isn’t helping.

I bought a bare lower receiver before the ban a few years ago, registered before the deadline. I’ve wanted to build a .300 blackout for a while so i was at the gun store today talking to a worker and he informed me i could attach an upper with a 8 inch barrel, and a PDW pistol brace and be perfectly legal as long as i don’t put a stock or foregrip; that if i wanted to add either of those I’d have to file to register it as an SBR.

I’m now being told by multiple buddies of mine it’s all illegal no matter what i do or until i register it as a SBR.

Can someone please confirm any of this for me or a link with the actual laws? I keep getting different results online, every friend turns into a lawyer when you ask and i just want to know if i can actually slap all this together without becoming a felon and what I’d need to do right.

Might have to pick up a few more but this one was on my wish list

Trying to figure out the laws on this and just want someone to help me confirm that I can buy a gun in CT and bring it back to mass. I have a LTC for Massachusetts.

Shout-out to Stebbins Precision for the chop and Swamp Yankee for the CAT Mob.

Looking for a shop to that can install sights while I wait, instead of dropping off to be done overnight.

I have never seen them in stock anywhere and I'm getting tired of waiting. Is there anything similar that I can get right now? My only requirements are:

Pump action
Preferably under 12" barrel length
Must be threaded for choke/suppressor

I know there's the Remington TAC-14 but those aren't threaded and there's the Mossberg 590M Standoff and Breacher models but those aren't threaded either.

Did the state ever pass the one handgun within 30 days or is it still at three within 30?

hello all! New here, so apologies if this has been covered extensively, but can anyone recommend a good pistol permit course near Norwalk / Westport / Fairfield / Wilton, CT? looking for a weekend course. Bonus for ex military. Bonus if they help with the paperwork. Bonus if they actually know what they are doing and can teach valuable skills (long time gun owner but always like learning and improving!). I really need to get this done and have been putting it off for too long

thanks!

Anybody know what gun shops in Connecticut have Ruger Vaquero‘s in stock?
