Support AN ACT AUTHORIZING CERTAIN PERSONS TO CARRY HANDGUNS IN STATE PARKS AND FORESTS. Oppose AN ACT CONCERNING GHOST GUNS Members of the Judiciary Committee, The unique factor with state parks is that they are generally spread out over large geographic areas, and typically have little to no armed law enforcement presence. Personal attacks on people frequenting state parks cannot be curtailed by unarmed park employees. Since legal firearms carry...

Sen. Winfield, Rep. Stafstrom, and Members of the Judiciary Committee: My name is [YOUR NAME], I am from [YOUR TOWN], I’m asking that you not support any further restrictions on the law-abiding citizens.

Senator Winfield, Representative Stafstrom, and Distinguished Members of the Judiciary Committee: Oppose An Act Concerning Ghost Guns.  Please don’t fall victim to clever terms. Firearms didn’t require serial numbers until after 1968. The proponents of this bill will say criminals are making “assault” or “military” weapons at home. This is already against Connecticut law.  Oppose S.B. 60 An Act Concerning The Presentation Of A Carry Permit.  This is a bill...

OPPOSE R.B. 6355 AN ACT CONCERNING RISK PROTECTION ORDERS OR WARRANTS. To: Judiciary Committee Members; Any bill that will allow a judge to hear only one side of a case will only produce a high rate of abuse. Do not take away constitutional rights based on one sided case.  Keep the requirement two officers must investigate. Meanwhile, help the law-abiding people of Connecticut by SUPPORTING the right to self-protection.  I...

A decision based on the record, and reasoning for the result. Raised...

Dear Committee, I am a resident of Connecticut and wish to voice my opposition for Bill 6355. Your opposition for this bill is important to me. There are already laws on the books that can protect people instead of this bill changing the existing law into something which I see being too easy to abuse. Please support the bill that allows for non-lethal electronic defense weapons to be made legal,...

Members of The Judiciary Committee, I am writing regarding H.B. 6355 An Act Concerning Risk Protection Orders or Warrants. This bill is nothing more than a mask over a gun grabbing agenda. There are current laws written making offenses with firearms illegal, as well as domestic violence offenses. Please make harsher penalties for offenders of our current Red Flag Laws and do not target law abiding citizens. Stripping people’s ability...

Do not make citizens choose between their civil liberties or mental health. OPPOSE Raised House Bill 6355 An Act Concerning Risk Protection Orders or Warrants. SUPPORT HB 6491 An Act Concerning Nonlethal Electronic Defense Weapons.  The right of self-defense applies to all devices and weapons in common use.  There is no reason why “stun guns” should be illegal.   Sincerely, [INSERT NAME] [INSERT TOWN]
