Not exactly, this is CT law.

Sec. 53-203. Unlawful discharge of firearms. Any person who intentionally, negligently or carelessly discharges any firearm in such a manner as to be likely to cause bodily injury or death to persons or domestic animals, or the wanton destruction of property, shall be guilty of a class C misdemeanor.


So if you are carful that there is nobody downrange I think it would be OK. A lot of gun laws have been relaxed since the SCOUTS decision on gun rights a few years ago, and unlawful discharge of firearms is one of those. In the past you could be charged with violating that law even if used for self defense in some areas. So many laws were rewritten to bring the laws within the SC guidance.
