28. Pass a Law Against Gun Shows

Fri Jan 4, 2013, 04:09 PM

I hope the Chief can come up with some good legal reasons for refusing the permit before the lawsuit is filed. It may feel good now, but you really do not want public officials banning legal activities based on their feelings.

What happens when a Red county Sheriff refuses a permit for a otherwise legal activity because of his personal feelings? The proper way to do this would be to pass a law prohibiting gun shows.

That is the irony of this act. hack89 Jan 2013 #17

Thanks, CT law is comprehensive for all handgun transfers. Private long-gun sales only at gun-shows. jody Jan 2013 #19

So we should do nothing... right? mikeysnot Jan 2013 #29

Awful idea. CT requires background checks for private sales at gun shows but not yard sales Recursion Jan 2013 #16

In the case of Connecticut, this move is purely symbolic and will not stop a single unlawful sale slackmaster Jan 2013 #20

Presumably the goal is fewer guns sold, not more background checks. n/t Plaid Adder Jan 2013 #36
