The National Shooting Sports Foundation declared Thursday it would challenge Connecticut’s ban on Glock pistols in court.

Democratic Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont signed HB5043, the legislation targeting so-called “machine gun convertible pistols” into law Wednesday, according to the Connecticut General Assembly’s website.
