    Our diminuitive senator responds.

    I got some spam mail from Senator Blumenthal the other day and took the liberty of demanding he aggressively help Issa and crew against that contemptuous Attorney General Holder. Here is the response I got today: Thank you for contacting me with your concerns regarding the “Fast and...

    Taking the lead with the legislature

    imported post I'd be interested in what CT residents would be interested in with regards to repealing useless or nonsensical firearms statutes. My thoughts are as follows: 1. The CT Assault Weapons Ban is idiotic, all it does is keep law abiding folks from owning brand name AR-15's when you...

    Failure mode on a S&W M&P 45

    Good job they weren't trigger happy for no ID! (not gun related)

    imported post Kind of a sad state of affairs on the Jersey Shore, it's a good job they didn't taze his poor butt and throw him in the slammer for walking around with no ID otherwise there'd be some pissed off fans. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090815/D9A334600.html

    What constitutes an "arsenal" in NY nowadays?

    imported post For those of you on Long Island, it turns out that an arsenal is now comprised of one shotgun, one rifle, and 500 rounds of ammo. The lady in the story sounds like a nut, but unless taking pictures is a crime I can't see how she got charged...

    Bridgeport - new dealer

    imported post Good news! I took junior to the range today to shoot the 22 and I sent a few 45's down range as well. The Bridgeport Shooting Range now has on site Park City Tactical (I believe is the name) a fully stocked gun store right on the premises. I had a quick look in there and he was...

    Stratford's mayor and carrying a pistol

    imported post There's a funny thread going on in the Topix forum. Looks like a cop is putting his 2 cents worth in about what a permit allows and what it requires. Kinda fun. http://www.topix.net/forum/source/connecticut-post/TEGAO9L0K6CLSSU0B#lastPost

    Not quite a carry question.

    imported post I'm planning on going up to Maine for a few days (not in any cities) and would like to bring my pistol with me. I have a carry permit in CT but there's no reciprocity between the two states. I will need to get where I'm going via car so can I legally transport the weapon in the...

    Securing guns and ammunition in the home

    imported post I've recently purchased a 45 handgun and have some long rifles that I've had since my teenage years. I've got kids in the house as well (9/11) and we've had a frank discussion about firearms, safety, rules if you find one (NRA eagle thing). My question is this, in order to...
