The Connecticut Citizens Defense League is a non-partisan, grassroots organization devoted to advocating rights affirmed by the Constitutions of the United States of America and the State of Connecticut. The group is especially dedicated to protecting the unalienable right of all citizens to keep and bear arms, for the defense. Sunday the group held its summer pig roast. Guest speaker was Martha Dean, a conservative CT lawyer who is heading up the CCDL's lawsuit on the unconstitutionality of the recently passed gun control measured in Connecticut. The picnic was held at Cennicola's Restaurant and Pizzaria in Clinton. The CCDL holds its monthly meetings at the Elk's Club in Middletown. The group once met in the downstairs room, but now with a recent surge in membership, attendees fill the grandball room. Photo credit: Luke Nearine.
