Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Covington

March 25, 2020335 Conn. 212

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s conviction for carrying a pistol or revolver without a permit. It held that the state may prove the firearm’s required barrel length through circumstantial evidence, and that the evidence concerning the firearm’s storage in a glove compartment, concealment in a waistband, and the ammunition was sufficient for the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the barrel was shorter than twelve inches.
