BE ADVISED AND TAKE NOTICE
Thanks to Bob Crook and the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen and Attorney Rachel Baird who brought this to my attention.
The following proposed legislation would appear to advocate having reciprocity with other states, eliminate the need for the state to issue NON-RESIDENT permits and mandate for the first time "CONCEALED CARRY" in CT.
It's only a matter of time until someone moves to mandate concealed carry for everyone.
General Assembly
January Session 2011
Proposed Bill No. 5145
LCO No. 436
Referred to Committee on Public Safety and Security
Introduced by:
REP. SAMPSON, 80th Dist.
AN ACT CONCERNING THE CARRYING OF CONCEALED FIREARMS BY OUT-OF-STATE RESIDENTS.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
That subsection (f) of section 29-28 and subsection (a) of section 29-35 of the general statutes be amended to permit any out-of-state resident to carry a concealed firearm in this state if said person holds a valid permit or license to carry a firearm issued by any state which has the same standards for age, background investigation and training as required by subsection (b) of section 29-28 of the general statutes.
Statement of Purpose:
To allow an out-of-state resident who holds a license to carry from another state to carry concealed firearms in this state.
