You can look up your local Representative and Senator and their contact information here: www.cga.ct.gov/asp/menu/cgafindleg.asp
_____________________________________________________________________________

Oppose HB 5054

AN ACT PROTECTING VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

This bill would violate due process rights for gun owners. Nearly half of these Temporary Restraining Orders do not become full restraining orders
_____________________________________________________________________________

Oppose HB 5623

AN ACT CONCERNING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, ACCESS TO MARSHALS, AND VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

This bill would violate due process rights for gun owners. Nearly half of these Temporary Restraining Orders do not become full restraining orders.
The same identical language from HB 5054 is included in this bill. This bill is a very unsettling attempt to divide gun owners to make them look like we somehow support human trafficking.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Oppose HB 5408

AN ACT CONCERNING THE PRESENTATION OF A CARRY PERMIT

 This bill would undermine the “reasonable suspicion” clause in the current law and would deprive gun owners of Constitutional rights protected under the 4th Amendment.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Support HB 5409

AN ACT CONCERNING APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR A TEMPORARY STATE PERMIT TO CARRY A PISTOL OR A REVOLVER.

 This bill is a worthy of support. This will help establish uniform criteria for local issuing authorities across the state.

It is critical to contact your legislators to let them know your positions on these bills. Your communication with your elected officials is the only thing that will stop anti-gun bills from passing, and help pro-gun bills to pass. Remember, their job is to represent YOU!
If you need more information before contacting your legislators about these bills, please visit our blog for useful information, or email Ray Bevis at legislative@ccdl.us
CCDL's strength lies in the actions of it's members.  Please take action as soon as possible. Our rights are at stake!

    1. No, no he didn't. Lesser voted YES to 5054.

  2. Addendum: I sent him a letter relating a personal experience with a malicious TRO levied against me. He was interested enough to inquire back to me for more information. I'd like to think the letter I sent him actually had an impact; Lesser isn't exactly known to be 2A friendly. Thank you again, Matt.

  3. I stand corrected; I'm afraid I mis-read the spread sheet. Lesser did vote yes on this one.

    I should have known better; my bad and thank you for bringing this to my attention.

  4. This link shows how the legislature voted. My mistake was reading the vote to the right of the name, instead of the left. https://www.cga.ct.gov/2016/VOTE/h/2016HV-00154-R00HB05054-HV.htm
