Connecticut Pistol Permit Clarification
Some questions have recently arisen in regards to the right of an individual who possesses a valid state pistol permit to carry his/her firearm in plain view. (Open carry verses Concealed carry.)
None of the Connecticut State Statues indicate that a person who possesses a valid state permit must conceal the firearm they are carrying. Connecticut is not a traditional open carry state. Outside of your own residence or place of business, a permit is required to carry. The permit that Connecticut issues is a carry permit, not a concealed carry permit, so open carry IS legal with a permit.
The large majority of permit holders carry firearms in a concealed manner, as not to bring attention to themselves or alarm those not aware of the law.
Many State and Local Police Officers are not well versed on the law in this area.
People have been arrested for Breach of Peace or Disorderly Conduct in the past for open carry of their firearm because doing so created "alarm ,annoyance or inconvenience", as quoted from the state statutes.
However, one must reason that:
If the open carry of a firearm by a valid permit holder is legal; and another person or persons are alarmed, annoyed or inconvenienced because they are unaware that the permit holder is exercising his legal right to carry his weapon unconcealed; this in itself would NOT constitute a crime on the part of the permit holder.
The permit does not infringe upon public or private entities from banning firearms from certain areas. The banning of firearms (Concealed or Open View) can and is banned in many public buildings, sports stadiums, school grounds, etc.
If valid permit holder has a firearm on his person (Concealed or not) and is in a public or private place that prohibits firearms; that person should be made aware of the prohibition and asked to leave. They may secure their weapon and return. If the person refuses to leave and still has the weapon on their person this would be a criminal trespass violation.
, , ',~ .
** Note: The vast majority of permit holders carry firearms daily without any problems or interaction with law enforcement. There may be some individuals out in public at this time purposely carrying their weapons in an open fashion to test or bait police officers who are unfamiliar with the law into arresting them, so they may bring civil action against the officers and state or municipality.
**Officer and Public Safety always comes first.*ｷ Having a good knowledge of the laws will help in this situation. Officers may still detain a person carrying a firearm to ascertain if that person has a valid permit. If this is the case and there is no other violation, the person is free to leave. If that person is acting in a manner that violates any other laws or ordinances, appropriate action should be taken. A professional response without overreaction will go a long way in these situations.

A rally in support of the 2nd Amendment is currently scheduled for April 10, 2010 at
1300 hours on the north lu*tr of the State capitol. while the capitol building and grounds are
under the jurisdiction of the State Capitol Police, there is the possibility that State Police
personnel"mayb e askedt o assistt he Capitol Police, or may have occasiont o observea nd/or
come into contact with individuals who are carrying firearms, either openly or concealed. In light
of this scheduled event, specific guidance concerning law enforcement matters related to
firearms at this event follows:
o State Police personnel should not arrest a properly permitted individual merely for
publicly carrying a handgun in plain view.
o State Police personnel should not arrest individuals merely for publicly catryinga
firearm other than a handgun in plain view'
o Exceptions to the general guidance stated above include, but are not limited to:
o It is prohibited for private citizens to possess firearms inside the State Capitol
or Legislative Office Building (Conn. Gen' Stat' $ 2-1e)'
o It is prohibited for private citizens to possess firearms in any Hartford city

brought to the attention of Hartford Police for the appropriate enforcement
action.
o State Police personnel should not request individuals to produce their pistol permits
unless such individual has become the subject of a law enforcement investigative
inquiry for another reason.
Whether or not probable cause exists to support an arrest depends upon the totality of the
circumstancesk nown to the Trooper at the time. Particular attention should be paid to those facts
and circumstancesw hich supporfan inferencet hat an individual to be arrestedi ntended or

If we lose OC, I'm afraid that I'd end up the next James Goldberg.
OC allowed by law is our first line of defense against bogus "brandishing" charges.
We all know how this state works. Printing would become a crime.
Support your local OC yahoo.
2/19/2012 4:17:57 PM
People should carry however they see fit and are comfortable with so long as they are not violating any existing laws when doing so.
That being said, its rather sad that firearm owners have to "tread lightly" lest we anger those in power, or the gun grabbing liberals, for the fear that they might introduce more anti gun laws when they see us exercising our right to keep and bear arms.

Coming from a state where open carry is actually encouraged I find it disconcerting that amongst permit holders in Ct that there is such a rift between the oc carriers and the concealed carry only lobby.
2/19/2012 6:25:56 PM
Although I normally conceal carry I am aware of the law and support anyone who decides to open carry. For any one who doesn't know, The Connecticut Citizens Defense League has been and continues to be an advocate of empowering CT's gun owners through education. If you haven't already checked us out please do so at http://www.ccdl.us. Membership is free.
Also for anyone who doesn't know New Britian actually doesn't allow concealed carry.

This topic has been looked into on several boards already over the past few years.
Neither town gives a shit provided you are otherwise legal. Which works out well, because I don't give a shit either.
These town laws are less enforceable than a parking ticket.
The general consensus is that these town laws don't even hold water in light of the state laws. The worst that could happen is that if you had to face the Permit Review Board for some other unrelated major fuckup, there is a possibility that through the molasses-grade beurocratic fiefdoms, that a ticket issued for carry in NL or NB could work against you in terms of judgement of character. Chances are, this info would never end up in their hands anyways.
I don't mean to sound flippant, but in the spaghetti-pile of gun laws we have to navigate in this country and state, local ordinances give me little reason for concern.

From the state police memo regarding the open carry rally in hartford.
o State Police personnel should not arrest a properly permitted individual merely for
publicly carrying a handgun in plain view.
o State Police personnel should not arrest individuals merely for publicly catryinga
firearm other than a handgun in plain view'

Can you open carry a LOADED long gun in CT??
I know of other states you can open carry, but the firearm must be UNLOADED with the ammo on the opposite side of your person.

While I totally respect the right to open carry, I really can't understand the need. I enjoy the element of suprise and feel no need to advertize my position. I suppose if I was in a high crime area and wanted to deter any attempts it would be justified. I just get the vibe that it antagonizes LE and they feel like permit holders are one draw away from a felony. My instructor for my permit class kept stressing that permit holders were on the side of LE. But I sure seems like alot of tension between the two.
I can see where giving up open carry is going to be a bad thing. But I can also see where some arrogant cop forcing you to conceal being extremely frustrating, it's all about how you handle it. These departments aren't writing these memo's and retraining for nothing. I can't imagine they like looking silly when they find out they are in the wrong. I think support of the CCdL is the way to go(for me atleast).

I have to agree with both sides of the why open carry argument. I understand the "fear and confusion" that runs through the normal (close-mined) citizen and how it can create an unnecessary scene. That's, simply, a poor excuse. If we open carried more often, everyday citizens would become more familiar with the laws (familiar, not understanding). I would never do it purposefully to confront an officer, that is pure ridiculousness.
What about people that abuse the welfare system. Regardless whether or not it is truly needed, they continue to do so because they have the right to.
Not open carrying because you are in fear that it will some day be taken away is not the answer. Whats the point of standing up for and having these rights if you're not going to exercise them?
That's like saying you shouldn't speak openly for fear that free speech will be taken away.
You never know, one day a politician might make it a point that we don't need the open carry law, because frankly, no one uses it.......

Connecticut prohibits carrying a loaded long gun, visible or concealed, in a vehicle, on a snow mobile, or on/ accross a public roadway. My understanding, is that DEP enforces roadways to include dirt roads passable by 4-wheel drives (does not include hiking trails, IIRC).
Loaded or not, it's not something that you want to do- especially in an urban or suburban area.
In past several years, there have been multiple people arrested in Hartford on 53-206 (dangerous weapon) along with other charges for carrying long guns in public. Personally, I dread bringing uncased rifles home from the gun store and I despise the fact that most gun stores in CT do not provide a wrapper (which the law requires末 29-37a(a) "....such firearm shall be encolsed in a package, the paper or wrapping of which shall be securely fastened...." ) with used long guns that are sans box. I remember when I bought my preban, the shop wanted to throw the box away that it was shipped in- which I demanded, informing the owner that Iwas not going to walk out of the store with an M4 at the ready [their response 'everybody knows there's a gunshop here, nobody is going to hassle you'末 they ended up giving me the box].
It's not unheard of for unfamiliar suburbanites to occasionally call the cops on hunters accessing state land open to hunting. Of course, those calls are a non-issue....

I've walked down the road with a rifle over my shoulder as a school-bus stopped 30 yards away to pick up kids on the other side of the street in lovely South Windsor and I received tons of waves from the kids. Maybe they liked my blaze orange but bottom line no cops were called and I was shocked

Once, I actually popped out of a state forest at a roadside parking area/ trailhead a cop/ car (CSP??) were in view about 50 yards down the road- I presume working on reports or waiting for speeders. I was wearing adequate orange, carrying an empty .22 rifle and wearing an empty 1911/22 in a hip holster. While it was fairly obvious that I was a hunter, I was sort of surprised that it didn't draw his attention/ cause him to at least check and see if I had a hunting license...
Then again, I have always found Connecticut LEOs to be fairly friendly interacting with sportsmen. Years ago, when I was either a HS senior or college freshman, I was fishing at Batterson State Boat Launch. A lot of poachers and undesireable element up there at the time, and the Farmington PD would occasionally drive through and check fishing licenses. At the time, I used to visibly carry a (legal) neck knife when fished- Looking back, I am surprised that none of them ever asked about it.

As someone who listens to multiple towns and the CSP very regularly on my scanner, there are some folks that call in any hunter "to be checked out to make sure it's legal". Even if they just see trucks parked. It seems almost spiteful behavior by the complainants, and I'm sure that in many cases, it is.
OMG TWO MEN WALKING INTO THE WOODS WITH SHOTGUNS!
DO SOMETHING!

"man with a gun"
Police have to go.
Welcome to CT. Where passive aggressive behavior is our way of life.
On the other hand, if you read on a similar hunting related forum that posts the DEP encon police blotter, there really does seem to be a major issue with jackholes in the woods. But I think these calls are just passive aggressive fucks that don't realize that hunting and guns surround their idyllic lifestyle. I particularly enjoyed the case of the man legally hunting pheasant on the banks of the CT river within full view of the suit dummies overlooking him in downtown Hartford office buildings
. Maybe if we could hunt with silencers, we wouldn't disturb the masses......

Per NLPD, if you have your permit, you are good to go.
