    Taking the lead with the legislature

    imported post I'd be interested in what CT residents would be interested in with regards to repealing useless or nonsensical firearms statutes. My thoughts are as follows: 1. The CT Assault Weapons Ban is idiotic, all it does is keep law abiding folks from owning brand name AR-15's when you...

    Good job they weren't trigger happy for no ID! (not gun related)

    imported post Kind of a sad state of affairs on the Jersey Shore, it's a good job they didn't taze his poor butt and throw him in the slammer for walking around with no ID otherwise there'd be some pissed off fans. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090815/D9A334600.html

    What constitutes an "arsenal" in NY nowadays?

    imported post For those of you on Long Island, it turns out that an arsenal is now comprised of one shotgun, one rifle, and 500 rounds of ammo. The lady in the story sounds like a nut, but unless taking pictures is a crime I can't see how she got charged...

    Stratford's mayor and carrying a pistol

    Not quite a carry question.

    imported post I'm planning on going up to Maine for a few days (not in any cities) and would like to bring my pistol with me. I have a carry permit in CT but there's no reciprocity between the two states. I will need to get where I'm going via car so can I legally transport the weapon in the...

    Securing guns and ammunition in the home

    imported post I've recently purchased a 45 handgun and have some long rifles that I've had since my teenage years. I've got kids in the house as well (9/11) and we've had a frank discussion about firearms, safety, rules if you find one (NRA eagle thing). My question is this, in order to...
