    Blumenthal Action 2015

    Got a message from Blumenthal today asking me to tell him what Congress should focus on in 2015 at http://action.richardblumenthal.com/2015. It wasn't on the list, but there is a write in block so I wrote in "Concealed Carry National Reciprocity" (and no, I didn't make a donation). Maybe if...

    Carrying while fishing or boating

    With Spring around the corner (we hope) I'd like to carry while boating/fishing but have some concerns. As I understand it, carry in a boat is no different from carry in a car, once you are on the water. The problem as I see it is the launch ramp. Any boat launch located in a state part...

    UNH Lock Down Latest Charges

    Does anyone have any idea what federal statute they would be charging under? http://www.courant.com/community/new-haven/hc-unh-gunman-federal-charges-0108-20140107,0,6364759.story I could see a state charge since he bought it after the deadline and brought it into the state, but not sure what...

    Man charged with violating new state gun law

    Don't you just love the slanting of a "news" story? The police arrest an 18 year old man for shooting a stolen handgun in a housing project (no mention of his target, if he had one), and the headline only mentions his arrest for having an unregistered magazine! IANAL but as I understand it...

    What has happened to CTGUNTALK.COM?

    AW and Magazine Registration

    This may have been answered before - if so I apologize. Is there anything in the law that requires that either an AW or HCM that is physically located outside the boundaries of CT be registered? I would assume that if it is not registered and is later returned to CT it would be as "illegal" as...

    Long Gun Eligibility Certificates

    Well, the news reports that today is the day the new law provides for the start of applications for the long gun certificate. Went to the DESPP site and could not find an application form or process. But IIRC we never got out June 1 explanation of the new law either. The FAQ on the DESPP site...

    Board of Appeals Article

    Despite their best efforts, the Courant's article, http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-gun-permits-20130622,0,1847793.story?track=rss, was overall pretty balanced. You could tell from the tone that the reporters hated to admit the police might be wrong when they were overturned, but they...

    Standoff With Armed Man In Winchester Ends Quickly, Peacefully

    First it was "swatting" and now "well being checks"? Wonder who called for the check and doesn't it seem a bit of an over-reaction with two police departments, including a swat team? http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-winsted-standoff-0619-20130618,0,7911435.story?track=rss

    Is the new Gun Owner Control Law an ex post facto law?

    I know the governor signed the bill April 4. The only version of the bill I've been able to read bans sales of certain guns and magazines after April 1. We know the gun stores were moving product with fork lifts to get as many sold as possible right up to noon on the 4th. Are those sales...

    Hartford, CT (2/25/2013) – At a press conference today, freshman Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) will announce proposed legislation banning Assault Air Bags. His proposed Assault Air Bag Ban (AABB) is designed to get such dangerous explosive devices out of the hands of untrained citizens or...

    Send Senator Blumenthal a Message

    The "good Senator" is asking for comments prior to an anti-gun dog-and-pony-show in Danbury with the Veep Thursday http://richardblumenthal.com/gunsafetyideas?utm_source=sp5172810&utm_medium=e&sc=sp5172810&refcode=sp5172810. I'm confident he is not looking for the type of comments readers of...

    Help for a visitor?

    Not precisely OC related, but definitely gun related. I'm temporarily in NC for a while and wanted to visit a gun show or two. Greenville is closest for me and I see they have one next weekend. Raleigh is further but doable and I see they have a show the weekend after Greenville. I attended...

    In light of the new NY law, CTGUNTALK.COM is allowing NY residents to use their forum classified listings. We all hope it helps them. Any word on a court challenge? We're next if we aren't careful (and lucky). http://www.ctguntalk.com/smf/index.php?topic=14836.msg123692#msg123692
