Very interesting.....can't wait to see where this goes in court.
Rich I think he is actually on the guys side and wants to see how he fairs with the actual law on his side
That might be, but lets not respond with glee that a man who (from the media reports) broke no laws, now has to get dragged through the court system because the New Haven PD apparently doesn't have a clue about the laws of the state. I don't see a single thing in the media reports so far that shows an appropriate response to this incident at all.
I hear too much 'just let the courts work it out'. Tell that to people like Mr. Doutel who had corrupt police and prosecution drag him through the courts for one and a half years while denying his rights over nothing but a voicemail that they had to admit they were not even willing to prosecute on.

Officer David B Hartman, media liaison for New Haven police, told the New Haven Independent that it was a "bad choice" for Hwang to bring the gun to the theater but that it was not illegal and he was charged for being uncooperative.
Hmmm...
That makes me wonder, what is the Connecticut Code paragraph for "noncooperation with a police officer"?
Well, maybe unlawful in "his" eyes anyways.......
I don't know what these cops were thinking...
Rich, it seems the standard response for a MWAG by police is to "saturate" the area with police.
I believe you know that from experience.
In this case, I heard over 20 LEO's responded to this call. Meanwhile, the areas being patroled by these same officers have no police protection. All this for a legally carrying citizen. A quick search on YouTube shows this to be the case almost everywhere when a MWAG call is recieved.
