REQUEST:


Prompt access and possible copies of ALL[/b] written or electronic communications created or received by or from the State of Connecticut Capitol Police and the Connecticut Department of Public Safety, The Chief States Attorney’s Office, the Hartford County State’s Attorney’s Office and/or the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office regarding the carrying of firearms on Capitol Grounds by persons in possession of a Valid Permit to Carry Pistols and Revolvers in anticipation for the planned event on April 10, 2010.
