<edit for visibility - modrapos>

I like this Sampson guy.

Sampson for Governor

Fuck that... Sampson for president!

My heart started beating like I saw a marching band of bald eagles escorted in a parade of monster trucks while guzzilng a pair 24oz budwizers poured into my mouth by two sexy Hooters girls that had pockets full of CCI minimags when I read that list.

'Murrca

Sampson>bacon

Sampson still has our backs.  Love that dude.

My guy
He's the fucking balls

Lives in town
Been door to door

Dubitsky good deal

Glad to see some pro 2a legislation being proposed, not holding my breath on passage or even being signed by the Governor, but maybe. Will have to pay attention to the hearing schedule for possible testimony.

Not to hijack the thread but this one caught my eye:

Proposed H.B. No. 5023 REP. LESSER, 100th DIST. 'AN ACT CONCERNING THE BUYING, SELLING AND EXCHANGE OF SNAPPING TURTLES', to promote full legal equality for Connecticut's snapping turtles.
REF. ENVIRONMENT

A question for the wiser - JAD, sbhaven, GardenWeasel, Modrapos, conndcj etc;


What can we do to help these Sampson initiatives along. Surely, sitting back, feeling good, and talking about them online is not enough. I want to get involved, and I want to make others get involved, too. Im tired of defeat, but not so tired that I have lost the desire for victory. Its time to push back. What do we do, collectively, to push these along.

I know nothing about politics (but Im pretty good at strongly worded letters ).

Thanks for putting this list together, sbhaven.

These initiatives will die........
you need to get rid of the FSA and the radical left
thats the only solution, and it aint gonna happen here for a while. Who just got re elected?
rant off

Get a lot of people to contact those politicians on the committee that each of the proposed bills have been referred to so the good bills get out of committee and the bad ones get stopped in committee. Then start the process all over again with all the legislators so they see that the people want the "good" pro rights bills passed and not the anti right bills.

But as we saw with SB1160 even pro rights politicians will stab us in the back.

Our major problem is that Malloy wasn't booted last November so any anti rights bill that lands on his desk will get signed and chances are he'd veto any pro rights bill. Any veto of a pro rights bill will probably not be overturned by the legislature.

You call that a rant?   j/k

I understand, but we've been over this. I will fight the losing battle if it's in the right. As I know you and many others here will, too.

But alas, at this semi-young and inexperienced (highly inexperienced with politics) stage in my life - I am but a mere rifleman - and I don't know where to aim. So I come here to seek guidance from my team leaders.

I can do letters (emails etc). Im good at that.

When the time comes, can we get a master list of contacts put together?

I do apologize for my shitty attitude on the subject

Don't. It all has its place and purpose.

First step is to know who your Representative and Senator are in the state houses. Then you have to call tihier offices and speak to their secretaries. Tell them where you stand on specific issues.

Second is emails, they are quick and easy but also easily ignored

Third and most important is you have to show up and testify. And these things are not on weekends. You are going to have miss work and show up. It's that important.

We just got him in.. I am glad he spoke at our rally's in Hartford. I wrote a not so pleasant letter to mr sear that I would do everything my power to have him replaced for voting yes on BS gun ban. And that's exactly what we did. We now have two strong 2a officials in my district. Now if we could only get Courtney out, that's my next mission.

Surprised no one yells foul about the first proposed bill from a Representative Fritz.
A Temporary Restraining Order, is a.k.a. An Ex Parte Restraining Order, right?
That is based on accusation by the person seeking protection by the Temporary Restraining Order, not necessarily based on fact but accusation before the accused has had the opportunity for an official hearing. That hearing may result in one of two outcomes, nothing or an actual restraining order requiring disposition of firearms.

So this jackass Rep. fritz is proposing that a TRO should require the subject (accused) of an Ex Parte (Temporary) Restraining Order must dispose of firearms pretty much immediately, even before the Hearing where the whole accusation which justifies an actual restraining order may potentially be thrown out.

Many divorce attorney file an Ex Parte (Temporary) Restraining Order as normal paperwork in a divorce.
My buddy called me one day, while he was shitting bricks because a state Marshall found him at work and served him with divorce papers and an Ex Parte included.
He was totally blindsided, scared, had no idea. Brought his entire gun collection to a very understanding FFL. His wife dropped the whole bullshit and he went back & picked up some of his guns, sold or selling some others.

Now suppose if I had been in his shoes, had a salt weppons, was subject to a bullshit law that may have been passed by jackass Rep. Fritz in 2015. Then let's say that I felt required to transfer my collection out of my name just to comply.
Then let's say the wife drops the TRO and then I go to reaccuire my gun collection, and I can get it all back except for my a salt weppins, because there is no way to transfer them back to me under Current CT law.

Am I pontificating this in a way that gets anyone riled up?
Am I wrong completely or in any way?

http://ctcarry.com/Blog/?p=281
This concerns temporary restraining orders for firearm owners in CT.

http://ctcarry.com/RiskWarrants
This concerns risk warrants in CT for firearms owners and is re commended reading for all.

Yup you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Bump. OP post updated with two more proposed bills.

H.B. No. 5295 ‘AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TAX CREDIT UNDER THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX FOR THE PURCHASE OF GUN SAFES’

S.B. No. 56 ‘AN ACT CONCERNING COURT AUTHORITY TO TEMPORARILY ORDER THAT A PERSON TRANSFER HIS OR HER FIREARMS UPON THE ISSUANCE OF A RESTRAINING ORDER, CIVIL PROTECTION ORDER OR FAMILY VIOLENCE PROTECTIVE ORDER AGAINST SUCH PERSON’

WTF is Witkos proposing in SB56?

Witkos is a good guy. I read than instead of turning in when hit with a TRO you can make arrangement with a legal friend, family member or FFL to hold them for you.

Is anyone proposing repealing the magazine tax law?


Magazine tax reform NOw!

The thing is we should not have to hand them over AT ALL, some crazy ex GF or wife decides to file for a restraining order you should not receive and BOOM bye bye guns. I have a feel divorce lawyers will have a field day with that one

Yes such a repeal would be covered under H.B. No. 5196 ‘AN ACT REPEALING CERTAIN GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION’.

What are the chances of getting to use suppressors for hunting? That would be great. Who do we start hounding?

Uhaul and a Texas real estate agent

You'll never get that here.  Ever

Fuck that

Fudds suffer with us

12 ga is probably most effective single round on unshielded humans close up.

And there was a 12 ga in Lanza's car.


Oppose

Yep. Make them suffer just like the rest of us. All  this would do is continue to divide the FUDD's from the rest of us. It would create another exempted class.

this needs to be known to the libs voting

make sure all the antis know this and email their reps

They WANT you to think it was in his car and not on the ground beside him...

Op post updated with another proposed bill.

Proposed H.B. No. 5695 ‘AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF FIREARMS TO SHOOT OR KILL A DOMESTIC ANIMAL ON PRIVATE PROPERTY ABSENT THE NEED FOR SELF DEFENSE’

Fucking busybodies fuck off.

Folks lets try to at least keep this thread on topic of the proposed laws. It does no one any good to have this thread descend into another thread on what may or may not have transpired at Sandy Hook. Such thread discussions inevitably end up being locked and timeouts/bans being summarily handed out by the mods.

I'm just messing with Typhoid...

So of you can't afford to put your dog down at the vet, you'll get arrested for doing it yourself

Just don't use a gun.

You have to get creative.

Damm, I put my cat down a few years back, I'll now be a felon.
Mike

I shot my duck in the dome with a .22LR

I'm so evil

My biggest problem was that it was the middle of winter and the ground was frozen, plus the cat was to big to flush.
Mike

There is a statute that does cover shooting dogs that threaten livestock. Wonder how this proposed law would interact with that one.

Sec. 22-358. Killing of dogs doing damage. Quarantine of biting dogs, cats or other animals. Notice. Seizure. Euthanasia and examination of potentially rabid animals. Complaints by persons sustaining damage by dog to poultry, ratite, domestic rabbit, companion animal or livestock. Orders. Appeals.
