- A ban on open carrying. Gun owners may still carry their weapons, but they have to be concealed.
- The law also expands a ban on AR-15s and other so-called assault weapons passed in 1993 and updated in 2013 after 20 first-graders and six adults were shot and killed the year before in Newtown. AR-15s purchased prior to the bans still can be legally owned, if registered with the police. But the new law closed what proponents called a loophole that allowed the legal sale of now-banned weapons if manufactured prior to 1994.
- Limits the sale of handguns to three in any one month, increases training requirements for gun permit holders and raises the minimum age to purchase a semiautomatic rifle from 18 to 21, the same threshold as handguns.
- Bans online sales of kits used to assemble “ghost guns,” firearms that have no serial number and are largely untraceable.
- Increases requirements for safe storage of guns.
- Sets more stringent bail, probation, and parole conditions for repeat firearms offenders.

New CT gun laws take effect in October. Advocates say they'll curb crime & rid illegal firearms
The new gun laws taking effect in October include a ban on open carry and a limit on the amount of firearms allowed to purchased in a month.

Not sure how much crime this will stop considering law abiding citizens who legally purchase weapons are not committing the majority of crimes.
