One word - Burlington.

A few bad apples doesn't negate the freedoms we enjoy nor excuse the Malloy and company apologists.

I hope I have a CT cop trying to ride on my airplane while carrying.

It may not go the way way he thinks it will.

TC

These things won't change until the people put the right politicians in power. It's easy to blame the cops but the problem and solution is well above them.

FIFY

We don't apologize for Malloy, the big gimmedat cities vote him in.

It's very easy to blame the cops for having a press conference calling on politicians to erode both the second and fourth amendments.

It's impressive that even with police officers actively campaigning for this that you believe it's not their fault.

It's 3 counties and their administrators (politicians). I don't agree with their wants and hope they don't get their wish. However, Those same 3 counties are suffering from high crime rates as is reported in the article (see heat map below). We sometimes like to attach nefarious motives to people's actions but in their minds at least they think this will help them with gun crime. I don't agree. I like to take in the whole picture, not a popular activity of some who like to visit these kinds of threads.

I consider the political climate in that area of the country and why they may be pushing for this. Again, we can blame the cops but that will accomplish nothing until the politics change. I really would like to see the police there stand up and say this isn't right but I just don't think the people in that area have the same political outlook as I do. Not everyone, unfortunately, sees the 2A as a hill to commit employment suicide on.

No, not every cop is going to stand with the 2A as we here understand it but there are plenty who will. Fix the politics first.

"The Constitution State"

Has been that for some time now as far as I can tell.

Hey used to say you only needed to carry it you didn't have to show it. Then they changed it to reasonable suspicion. Now they would want it no suspicion needed

Are they sworn police officers with arrest powers?  If yes, then they are police officers.

I'm interested if you have any charts that show a correlation between open carry and crimes in that area.

I'm no constitutional scholar, but I'm pretty sure that you can't just make a law that allows detention of people without RAS or PC.

Nice and succinct- well said.

Now all we need is every other cop in the country (present and future) to agree to this.

Yes but they don't care. they want to remove the part in brackets

Heres a better one
they want to take your guns if you have a temp restraining order BEFORE the hearing. so if someone wants to fuck with you they just have to make a false statement and they will take your guns without a hearing.

Connecticut is a real pioneer in these areas.
