AN ACT CONCERNING UNLAWFUL DISCHARGE OF A FIREARM.

HB 6366 amends Connecticut's statute (section 53-203) to clarify that recklessly discharging a firearm is unlawful. It explicitly allows intentional discharges for lawful self-defense, aligning with the stated purpose of protecting that right. The bill directly affects individuals who discharge firearms, including in self-defense situations. Key provisions add reckless discharge as a violation and define the scope of lawful self-defense under the statute.
