Please be careful with this. For a complete list of banned-by-name rifles and feature restrictions, you should check CT State laws here http://www.cga.ct.gov/2005/pub/Chap943. ... 3-202a.htm.

So I did an Appleseed this weekend, over all a good experience, for new shooters, there is alot of good basics to learn.

I strongly suggest you get a semi auto rifle, it makes life much easier.
