Connecticut outlawed one of America's most popular self-defense handguns, citing fifty-one illegal conversion switches two local police departments seized.
Democrat Governor Ned Lamont signed that ban into law this past May, with enforcement set for October first.The Judge's written order reveals exactly why she says Connecticut's gun law cannot survive constitutional scrutiny. Glock and the Gun Industry Sued Over a New Felony Law and won.
On May 28, 2026, Governor Lamont signed Public Act 26-41, Connecticut's ban on what state lawmakers called "convertible pistols." The law targets striker-fired handguns built with a cruciform trigger bar – the design found on nearly every Glock on the market. Hammer-fired pistols with shielded trigger bars were exempted entirely.
Selling, importing, distributing, or even advertising a banned pistol in Connecticut became a Class D felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.
Glock Inc. and the National Shooting Sports Foundation sued in federal court on September 21 and 22, arguing the statute was unconstitutionally vague and violated the Second Amendment. Banning the gun millions of law-abiding Americans already own is a different question entirely, and Judge Dooley said so. The Supreme Court's Bruen ruling put the burden on the government: prove a gun law fits the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation, or lose.
Connecticut didn't meet that burden, so Judge Dooley found the ban "presumptively unconstitutional."
