Under Connecticut’s current statute, also known as the risk protection warrant law, a state’s attorney or any two police officers can seek an order from a judge that allows the seizure of a firearm or ammunition if they believe the person with access to the weapons poses a risk to themselves or others. A court hearing is held within two weeks to decide whether the firearms or ammunition should be kept away from the person. Any member of the public can contact police to begin the procedure. The order lasts for a single year.
