Opinion
FOTI, J.
The defendant, David C. Wright, appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered after a jury trial, of carrying a pistol or revolver without a permit in violation of General Statutes § 29-35 and illegal possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle in violation of General Statutes § 29-38. On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court (1) deprived him of his right to challenge jurors peremptorily and (2) unduly limited his closing argument to the jury. We agree with the defendant’s first claim, reverse the judgment and remand the case for a new trial.
