What statute is this in reference to? http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/colloq2.htm Its probably right there but I cant find it.
Thanks DMJS,
Reason I'm asking is a guy in Norwalk had his guns confiscated without a warrant and the charges against him aren't disqualifying even if convicted. I had thought this statute was what allowed it but apparently not, since this requires a judges signing off on it. Iv been going back and forth with a state Senator about it with very little headway. It seems that the courts have no issue with the arbitrary seizure of our guns if that what they decide to do. It's pretty disturbing. You can find more info on Rich B's site about it.
I know Rich, I'm trying to find if the original confiscation of his guns was legit, seeing as how the charges wont disqualify him if convicted.
Senator Duff keeps telling me theres nothing he can do at this point since he cant influence the courts.
Whether o not thats true is irrelevant. I'm trying to get him to care about unjust confiscation of private property (guns) and the states continued effort to not release his property.
I dont know My Doutel and am not looking to effect the outcome of the case.
the link is talking about a judge still needs to be consulted & sign off on it.
Its ironic the way many Democratic politicians will bend over bass ackwards to ensure that everyones civil rights are being respected... until it gets to guns. To me its very obvious that he is simply being persecuted and I find the acceptence of that by our legislature simply unacceptable.
No, of course not. This is what Doutel v Norwalk is about. They also confiscated Mrs. Doutel's firearms and she was not even involved.
I tend to agree, but that is not our problem, I have been putting pressure on anyone and everyone. People should see that we are not quiet when this kind of travesty occurs. It is scary how many people currently don't care about this case when it could be any of us.
It is important to make everyone, especially legislators, aware of our bad laws like our confiscation laws and show them how these things can be used for evil. You are doing a great job at that. You always do.
I do and I am. We should all be. The idea that exercising your first and second amendment rights can get both taken away indefinitely with no due process is extremely alarming.
I can tell you that no judge signed off on the original confiscation. The firearms confiscated were supposedly 'taken as evidence' even though none of the firearms matched any description that has been made present in the case so far.
There is a first amendment aspect to this case that cannot be overlooked. This might be a valid avenue.
I imagine your talking about Joanne? Let me run the idea by her. As we both know Republican doesnt necesarilly mean conservative or pro gun anymore,
Ok thats fine, was it her you were talking about?
Honestly I was thinking if she is on our side a CCDL endorsement might be possible, but if I'm wrong it wont be the first time.
Never thught about CT carry in that capacity. Anyway I sent her an E-mail a few minutes ago & will let you know what she says.
I am talking about anyone who might need to be educated on any of our various issues, the Doutel case in particular.
I can't speak for CCDL.
Connecticut Carry is a 501(c)(4) non profit and therefore is a 'social welfare' non profit organization. We cannot and will not endorse or support candidates or their campaigns and we are non partisan. We are willing to sit down with anyone on any side of any aisle to discuss the issues that affect our citizens in Connecticut.
That said, we certainly can and will post any conversations, decisions and actions that we take together with any legislator (or when needed, against a legislator) and will allow the citizens of Connecticut make their own choices come election time.
Ok I get it. When I reply to the Senator I'll ask him if he'd be interested in talking about it with you or us. In my experience he's very responsive but isnt on our side.
Sure it is, but, as I'm sure you already know, it gets frustrating explaining what seems like common sense repeatedly to someone who should already understand. I have little patience for the irrational ignorance many of our elected officials hide behind. Though I'm much better at keeping my cool than I used to be. I'll keep in touch.
Got a reply from her & she seems interested as I thought she might. Waiting on Duff.
