Well, I filed a FOIA request in the first qtr of the year .. asking for records relating to guns that a town owns.
DESPP did their std job of producing a letter (CGS 1-210 (d)) for the town to withhold various records related to guns they owned.
I argued that the DESPP letter is worthless because our state now requires us to provide detailed information concerning our guns under PA13-3 registration requirements. And if this creates a safety risk then PA13-3 would violate the 2nd amendment.
But since I'm seeking records, I argued that the state, by passing PA13-3, has made a legislative finding that disclosure of information regarding guns does not create a safety risk and the town should be required to provide records regarding their guns.
The commission, full of democrats, did not see any conflict between DESPP's finding that disclosing records that show the guns that the town owns creates individual safety risks to individual persons and PA13-3's requirement that we disclose our gun information.
Don't know if I should just let this FOIC case decision stand as it is or to appeal and push more for disclosure...
Right now, I see the ruling as being one where they have found a safety risk exists for those that disclose.
And this would be an issue regarding PA13-3's registration requirements under our 2nd amendment.
Forum members...what do you think?
