I had one say we have no right to own guns (an individual right) ...
How'd it go there today? I couldn't make it (stupid job )
Freaking terrible. I got there at 9am to sign up. Only 2 metal detectors ... had to wait in the cold until 9:30 when line started to move at a snail's pace. Got into the bldg at 10:15am...got to metal detectors (no beep) @ 10:25pm ... then the trouble started as I had my briefcase with me with some small office equipment contained within it.
They asked me what the equipment was ... I told 'em I felt that I did not have to answer a freaking set of interrogatories to gain entry. The cop kept on asking me again and again and I refused to answer (its just a handheld scanner duh). Another female cop came over and said "that's a scanner" to the idiot cop who was starting to piss me off. So, he found out what it was so everything was OK, right? Think again ... he demanded that I answer his questions.
I told him he cannot force me to answer his questions that he already knows the answer to and to either a) let me pass or b) arrest me .... he did neither and refused me entry. I asked him what he thought was hazardous...no reply.
Anyway, I sneaked in later...yeah, their security is top notch there. And I left for a FIC hearing across the street and then went back after that hearing. Into the over-flow room...(no briefcase needed...put in my car after the FIC hearing).
I did ask several cops in the capitol building if they were willing to bust into people's houses to steal guns ... none said no, many refused to answer, and some said "sure".
But the turn out was large, mostly pro-gun to my estimate (about 70/30).
Had a male teacher in front of me waiting in line saying that guns are the problem & I told him, no -- the doors into the schools are a problem. He agreed this should be improved but was still demanding that guns be outlawed. I suggested he come over to my house to get mine ... he declined.
I dusted off my old field jacket (luckily-it was cold and snowy) !
I saw a few activity duty guys and many vets there ... none were an anti !
I told one anti (idiot youthful female) that my squadrons have killed thousands and tens of thousands of children -- and they got medals !! Just to shake her cage...she was aghast. She has never seen dead children before ... I guess.
Not to many libertarians there, although some that I could hook up with and talk libertarian stuff with...that was nice.
I snarled at all the antis "rrr-uff ruff!"
Most all pro-gunners indicated that they would not be turning in their magazines under any circumstances ...
You handled yourself horribly. Comments like that are why the antis hate gun owners. Take the high road and conduct yourself with some professionalism and come to the argument with a well thought out intelligent position. You hurt the cause.

Robo44.....I couldn't agree more with your comment regarding this........person. The more I read what this dude writes ( throughout the other states too ) the more I understand we need to look at mental health, and soon.
Way to go David, I bet your really proud of the way you handled yourself today. BTW, what is it you do for a living ? I'd like to go there and give you a hard time, and see how that works for you.
What do I do for a living? I convert ADP to ATP and back ...

1. This is exactly why I don't post much... so I don't get trolled by him and his ludicrous comments.
2. These are the obvious reasons why he has so many permit issues.
3. People like this who say dumb stuff like that embarrass people like us.
I was working, driving a big orange plow truck on the highways throwing salt down to get you and the anti's azz' to and from the capitol safely.
Lastly Dave, I've asked you before several times, why is it your not a FFL dealer anymore....please advise.

I held a ffl for many years ... I came to CT and started my business up again as a "kitchen table" dealer. But in my area, there was just not the enthusiasm for guns as in my previous location
How did you obtain an FFL in CT without a permit?
I just applied ... must not be necessary...I already had a ffl so I just transferred its location...but still had to go through all the hoops with locals...there's "tricks" to get around stuff
Just because i happen to have an application on me. Question 23-C.
Then this CT state law
Paraphrased: "no person may sell at retail without an eligibility certificate or pistol permit"

Do you have an EC?
