HARTFORD, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - Attorney General William Tong announces a Florida-based ghost gun dealer will dissolve its existence in a settlement with the Connecticut, following the sale of illegal, untraceable ghost gun parts in the state.
Steel Fox has agreed to dissolve, surrender its internet domain, and deactivate all social media accounts.
For a period of five years, Steel Fox’s principal must annually report whether he or any other agents of Steel Fox have formed a business to resume sale of ghost gun parts.
Should the owner or any other current or former Steel Fox agents resume sale of ghost gun parts through a new business, he must attest to full compliance with Connecticut laws.
Should Steel Fox associates sell illegally in Connecticut again, or violate any other terms of the settlement, a $255,000 penalty will be triggered.
“Ghost guns exist for one purpose—to evade law enforcement and registration," says Attorney General Tong in a written statement.
Attorney General Tong sued Steel Fox and three other out-of-state firearms dealers in April 2023. The other three cases, against Indie Guns of Florida, Hell Fire Armory of North Carolina, and AR Industries of Utah remain pending.
