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! Next Meeting May 10th, 7:00pm - 9:00pm Join us in Middletown for our next monthly meeting. This meeting is open to all Members! As usual, we will be collecting canned goods/non-perishables at our meetings.    The Connecticut Citizens Defense League strives for hands on activism from our members. We want an organization for us all to be proud of as we put forth effort to fight for our 2nd Amendment rights in our beautiful State. See you there!
