I appreciate your feedback. Let me get this straight, I have to pay to learn how not to break the law? There is no black and white resource? I did read the CT carry flyer, which listed the places not to carry you mentioned, but you also mentioned that this was not all inclusive. Where are the rest of the inclusions? Forgive my sarcasm, it is just my frustration, I'm assuming I am not the first.
Well you could read the state statutes and repeat the research that the rest of us have all done, but I am pointing you to shortcuts. And those shortcuts may cost money.
Now, the problem with your request is that you are asking a poor question.
I gave you a simple list of the places that state and federal statutes prohibit you to carry, but I cannot give you definitive rules on every other place that you cannot carry. Some people will give you bad information like 'malls', 'bars', 'churches', 'banks' or 'government property'. I will not do that, because those are not entirely true and are not based on specific statutes. You need to understand the laws in order to stay in compliance with them. If you want to ask a specific question like "Is it legal to carry in a bank?", I could answer you definitively "It is legal as long as it is not prohibited by the property owner. No law exists to prohibit carrying firearms in banks."
Now, you have options for learning all the ins and outs of the laws around where you may carry or not carry.
- You can rely on internet forums such as these as gospel and take the good with the bad and potentially make a mistake.
- You can ask questions and get responses that point you to sources that help you learn how to look this stuff up yourself.
- You can pay an attorney to give you advice.
- You can pay a trainer to help you.
Again, this is not a list I can simply post further than what I have posted.
- Federal buildings (USPS is a great example)
- Any place the legislature is meeting (LOB, Capitol building)
- School property (K-12, public or private)
- Any place where firearms are prohibited.
This is the information you asked for, but I once again caution you to start researching the laws and learning about the more complicated nature of things. There are a lot of pitfalls around these areas.
