In a critical Second Amendment ruling delivered on September 30, 2026, U.S. District Judge Kari A. Dooley granted an emergency motion for a preliminary injunction against Connecticut officials, preventing the state from enforcing its impending ban on “convertible pistols” established under House Bill 5043 (Public Act 26-41). The consolidated lawsuits, brought separately by Glock, Inc. and a coalition consisting of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), Shadow Systems LLC, and Blue Trail Range Corporation, successfully argued that the statute is presumptively unconstitutional under the Second Amendment and that the state failed to identify relevant historical analogues justifying the ban. The federal order halts enforcement of the statute hours before it was slated to take effect on October 1, 2026.
