Highlighting historic military fi****ms allows us to honor the brave individuals who carried them. Lemuel Custis, a Hartford native, was one of the original five aviators to graduate from the Tuskegee Army Air Field, making history as a pioneering member of the 99th Pursuit Squadron.

After a 13 year fight, the Supreme Court of the United States has agreed to hear CCDL’s challenge to the Connecticut ban on so-called “assault weapons”. In the year ahead, the attorneys and plaintiffs will be travelling to D.C. to argue the case. A ruling will be made sometime in the 2026 term, which begins in October and ends around July 2027.

Ye Connecticut Gun Guild is proud to contribute to the cause, and now challenges all other collector organizations, dealers, and sportsman’s clubs throughout our great state to do the same. We have one shot at this, and we all need to pool our resources in support of this effort to restore our constitutional rights.
