After my recent encounter with an off-duty Suffield police officer, I sat down at my computer and composed a question to the folks at the Special Licenses and Firearms Unit of the DPS. My question was:
...I recently had an encounter with an off-duty Town Of Suffield police officer who insisted that the 'State Permit To Carry...' is a 'concealed carry only' permit. I've read throughmy copy of the'Reference Guide' and can find nothing that mandates concealment...could you please direct me to where I might find information to confirm (or not) the statement that this officer made?
The aboveisquestion number three that I wrotein my email; I sent it off on Sunday night. I found an answer in my inbox on Tuesday morning from Detective T. M. Karanda; he wrote:
...the permit to carry issue will hopefully be resolved shortly as to how the firearm is to be carried, concealed or not. We are waiting for a declaratory ruling to facts concerning the carry issue...
It appears that theDPSis backing away from previous statements regarding open versus concealed carry.
What does everyone think??
