Earlier this year Connecticut jumped on the GLOCK ban bandwagon that California started. The law is called a “convertible pistol ban,” but make no mistake, it’s intended to ban the most popular handguns in America because gangbangers like to illegally outfit their guns with illegal switches that illegally convert them into illegal full-auto bullet hoses.
The Connecticut law goes into effect on October 1, but the state, which is largely run by the usual group of incompetents and hacks, hasn’t been able to tell gun stores whether or not the latest iteration of GLOCKs that have been designed to resist switch installation are prohibited or not.
Today, GLOCK filed a complaint in federal District Court asking for a TRO and injunction preventing enforcement of the law. GLOCK contends that their Gen6, Slimline and V-Series pistols don’t meet the law’s definition of “convertible pistols” and shouldn;t be banned under the law.
Here’s GLOCK’s announcement of its lawsuit . . .
GLOCK, Inc. has filed a complaint and motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The complaint filed today against the Connecticut State’s Attorneys and the Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to enjoin the enforcement of Connecticut 2026 HB 5043/ Public Act 26-41 banning “convertible pistols.”
The complaint maintains that the definition of banned “convertible pistols” is vague, ambiguous and unclear as to whether GLOCK pistols manufactured after October 1, 2026 can be sold in the State of Connecticut. In response to customer, dealer, and law enforcement inquiries regarding the statute, GLOCK, Inc. sought clarification from the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General and the State’s Attorneys – to no avail.
The misguided law unconstitutionally infringes on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Connecticut residents by prohibiting an entire class of lawfully made and sold handguns. Through the lawsuit, GLOCK, Inc. seeks not only to gain clarity for Connecticut citizens, but more importantly, to safeguard core Second Amendment rights and ensure that law abiding citizens maintain their right to choose the handguns they keep and bear for self-defense.
