Debate Begins Early Over Bill To Disclose State [Connecticut] Handgun Owners' Names, Addresses
HartfordCourant ^ | January 3, 2013 | JON LENDER,

Posted on 01/04/2013 2:37:16 AM PST by Daffynition

The names and addresses of about 170,000 handgun permit holders in Connecticut, now kept confidential by law, could be made public under a proposed bill that pits gun owners against would-be reformers in the aftermath of the Dec. 14 Newtown school massacre.

The bill, introduced by Rep. Stephen D. Dargan, D-West Haven, co-chairman of the legislature's public safety committee, would make public the names and addresses of permit holders under Connecticut's Freedom of Information Act — and would reverse lawmakers' decision to protect that personal information from disclosure nearly two decades ago.

What’s a handgun permit? These people should move to a free country.

The leftist would-be tyrants cannot ban and then steal citizens’ guns without first embarking on a Big Media and Big Government propaganda campaign to demonize guns and gun owners.

The goal of this propaganda campaign is to paint gun owners as something far worse than child molesters.

I’ve been thinking about all this falderall...and I think it could lead to a law passed to require pistol owners to open carry.

**I would like a list and map of all people that have or had mental health treatment in their past. I would also like a list of people that are on medications that may make them a hazard to society. God forbid my kids are near any of these nuts.**

**...Adam Lanza’s name would not have shown up anyway in any data base as ever having a gun. So how do you stop someone like this? I dare one Representative or State Senator to answer this question. I dare you. If you cannot answer it then debate is closed and you do not issue the names of gun owners in this state.**

An unintended consequence of such disclosure—gun owners are increasingly safe from home invasion, but those without become targets for crime?

I guess the Constitutional “right to privacy” is restricted to giving mothers the right to kill inconvenient children.

He has a nice condo in East Haven. Funny thing, at his West Haven Address the Google photo car stopped taking pictures just before it got to him. There is no gate, no sign, just all of a sudden no more pictures.

I was trying to think what that mug reminded me of, and I think you hit on it. "Kinko," without his day-job make-up.

What right do these government goons have to grant us some gun permit or permit for anything ? Are they gods ? BS more like turds. they want us applying for gun permits so they can track us and when the time comes for them to know where they can find us. now it's just demonizing but later it will be harassment and kicking in your door with a jack boot. democrats = communist thugs who want to empower government and at the same time take away all our individual rights.

and many even here want to give the government idiots right to say who is mentally sick etc, to put a TSA in government schools. ban government schools and all government except military , border control of illegals and dealing with international issues.

Wannabe petty tyrants like "Rep. Stephen D. Dargan, D-West Haven" are worse than child molesters ... child molesters destroy innocent lives "retail", one at a time.

Leftist Stalin imitators like "Rep. Stephen D. Dargan, D-West Haven" destroy innocent lives wholesale with their lust for government power. "Rep. Stephen D. Dargan, D-West Haven" is in the same category of people as the worst of the bloody XX Century's governmental mass murderers; he holds the same view as to the purpose of government, and the relationship between the government and the citizen.

The really appalling thing is that as democRat Party petty tyrants go, he's a fairly mild example.

Check out what democRat Party Racist Petty Tyrant Ruben Diaz is trying to do in New York.

Yes; it IS a sort of convoluted remedy to publish names of gun owners. It actually places those without in a position of being targets for criminals.

Under Connecticuts handgun permitting law there is NO regulation that prevents the owner of the hangun from openly carrying his gun now.

There has been a lot of misperception regarding that even among our local police officers.

It’s gotten to point that the Department of Public Safety(State Police)issued a memo to local departments advising them of tha fact.
