As an aside, why would a retired state trooper need a permit? He should be qualified under LEOSA.

In CT, a state pistol permit would allow him to both CC and OC (LEOSA only covers CC) and purchase handguns. A person also does not need to requalify to keep or renew a CT state pistol permit (LEOSA requires annual requalification). Of course, given the surroundings, a retired LEO in CT certainly has a great incentive to maintain a LEOSA qualification to carry in neighboring states.

Thanks for reconnecting the dots. Momentarily forgot that LEOSA does not cover OC even though I have been talking about exactly that elsewhere. My bad.

FOI request sent

I think it is in the best interest of the open carry community to know what happened in this incident with more detail than what is presented in this story:
Officers respond to pistol carrier with guns drawn in city hall.

Something very wrong happened here and the Middletown police need to have sunlight laid upon them and this incident.

I have recieved a response to my request for information regarding the incident of the person who had weapons drawn on him in the Middletown City Hall for being in possession of a firearm.

No actual information yet, but the response indicates they will be in contact.

I like how they make up their own rules for FOI copy fees. No thanks, I will go by the state statutes.
