Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Enrrique H.

December 30, 2025353 Conn. 823

Summary

The court affirmed convictions for possessing firearms or ammunition while subject to protective orders and for violating a protective order. It held that a prior proceeding qualifies as a case involving physical force when force was present within any aspect of the proceeding, even if force was not an element of the underlying offense, and that the statute was not unconstitutionally vague as applied. The court further held that the defendant’s Second Amendment challenge was an impermissible collateral attack on the underlying protective orders.
