   NSSF challenges Connecticut ban on popular striker-fired handguns

   NSSF says it is challenging Connecticut's ban on popular striker-fired handguns. CA shops already live with a handgun roster and will get "is Glock back" questions. Title-only. No case caption, docket, or California roster note is named in the pool.

   For a CA shopDo not add off-roster striker pistols from this headline. Follow the current California roster until you have a California instruction.
