Support AN ACT AUTHORIZING CERTAIN PERSONS TO CARRY HANDGUNS IN STATE PARKS AND FORESTS.
Oppose AN ACT CONCERNING GHOST GUNS
Members of the Judiciary Committee,
The unique factor with state parks is that they are generally spread out over large geographic areas, and typically have little to no armed law enforcement presence. Personal attacks on people frequenting state parks cannot be curtailed by unarmed park employees.
Since legal firearms carry has not been shown to have increased the safety risk in other locations, it seems reasonable that firearms carry should be legalized in this low-protection area.
Effective with new registrations of vehicles, we are being forced to pay an additional “tax” to cover the use of state parks. It seems reasonable that we should be allowed to carry in the parks and forest.
Making an 80% lower into a firearm for resale is already illegal, unless you have a manufacturer’s license, and then the firearms must have serial numbers stamped on them.
Making any ‘banned’ weapon like an AR15 from an 80% lower is also illegal.
Criminals, when asked how they obtain their firearms, they say stole them or engage a straw purchaser, both of which are already illegal.
Vote with Connecticut law-abiding citizens and CCDL. Support S.B. 940, H.B. 5227, H.B. 5870. Oppose S.B. 60, H.B. 7219, H.B. 7223.
