OC until it's common and normal

Wow, that's disturbing. I only get to CT about twice a year, and have undoubtedly been lucky not to have been challenged for open carrying, which I do universally just like at home.

As long as all you Connecticut OC'ers continue with such fortitude, determination, and courage, the barrier will eventually be breached and guns will be normalized in Connecticut society again, as they are in other states.

FOI request sent

A FOI request was sent to Guilford regarding the non incident I reported on a short while ago.

Figure this can go one of two ways:

1) Either there will be no reports of anyone contacting the police.

2) There was a report to the police who invesitgated and found no reason to interfere.



Either way, I consider it a win for rights in Guilford. Either citizens just don't care about people openly carrying firearms, or the police understand the proper way to investigate and don't feel obligated to detain someone just because that person has a firearm on them.

Guilford's response to FOI request

I have received the response in writing from the Guilford Police Department regarding the (non) event I experienced at the Wendys in Guilford.

This response confirms to me that nobody in the restaurant that day was alarmed enough or even considered it abnormal enough to report my open carrying to the police officer while he stood maybe 10 feet away from me.

Looks like it really was a non issue. OC must be getting more normalized.
