GLOCK has sued Connecticut. You read that correctly and I am here for it. I am sick of seeing states try and ban a firearm for absurd engineering criteria.
GLOCK, Inc. Files Complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut
SMYRNA, GA – September 21, 2026 – 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.

I, for one, am glad to see them pushing back in a serious way against the egregious encroachment Democrat controlled states have been trying to use to ban the pistol. This is the same nonsense of legislatures blaming vehicles for being too ‘stealable’ in that an non-complex machine is too easy to modify feloniously? Perhaps, dear blue states, you should be throwing more folks into prison for the maximum sentence when said felons get caught with illegally modified firearms. Just a thought.
Forcing a company to make their machines more complicated to curb criminal behavior is a wild theory. That isn’t how engineering works and firearms are at their core very simple machines, you cannot complicate the mechanics against crime only.

That hasn’t stopped states from trying this method of ban by 1,000 nonsensical rules instead of just banning. California tried this with their handgun register and ‘mirco-stamping’ technology. It is the same old, tired, sorry tactic.
Good for GLOCK, Inc.
