_____________________________________________________________________________
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
_____________________________________________________________________________
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 4
th Amendment.
_________________________________________________________________________________
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!

Our Middletown rep, Matt Lesser voted "no" on 5054. Thank you, Matt.
ReplyDeleteNo, no he didn't. Lesser voted YES to 5054.
DeleteAddendum: 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.
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected; I'm afraid I mis-read the spread sheet. Lesser did vote yes on this one.
ReplyDeleteI should have known better; my bad and thank you for bringing this to my attention.
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
