An unregistered military-style rifle, two other guns, three large-capacity magazines, and thousands of rounds of ammunition have been seized by Danbury Police from a Southbury man. 

47-year old Chad Ripley had been ordered to turn the weapons over following a domestic violence call in December.  Connecticut has a so-called Red Flag law requiring anyone who is issued a restraining or protective order to turn over any guns and ammunition within 24 hours.  He was charged by police Monday for having the unregistered gun and ammo. 

A Danbury woman Ripley was living with told police in December she and her daughter were assaulted by the man and she was concerned he would harm them again. 

Ripley is due in court on October 2.
