I guess I was thinking she may have already had them.
This is why I suggested it would be necessary to get the police, etc involved. She can be conserved which would get the firearms out of her possession if she’s a danger. Permits are revoked in that situation.
Up until relatively recently one didn’t need a permit to purchase guns. There were some controls but you could have purchased a firearm at a tag sale.

Let's just remember that the SOR isn't really that great when we are lumping together people who have done wildly different crimes like:
- someone who has done REALLY really bad things (ch-ld r-pe)
- a dumb 18 year old drunk kid who peed in public and is now 23 and in grad school and an upstanding citizen
Both could be added to the list. Who would you rather live near?

Fair enough I assumed internet search but you didn’t say that.
I think it does make sense for law enforcement or courts to be able to readily have that info, and concerned residents should probably be able to initiate a probe of that info for the right reasons. That to me sounds like a good middle ground.

Yeah that information should be between you and the issuing authority, that’s it.. it holds no relevance for anyone else outside of a gun store, and shooting range. The broader public having access to it only creates the potential for further abuse.

OK. So your reasoning is that it's personal.
I can divest into more of your points, but won't. All valid and good talking points imo.

Not pictured was the first course of venison stew, beaver and venison chili, and pheasant soup. On the plate is rabbit pasta, rabbit fricassee, smoked turkey, corned venison, bison meatloaf, turkey and venison sausage. There was other stuff too but this was enough for me. Then cookies and brownies for dessert.

No it’s just something that shouldn’t be available to the public because it’s information of a personal nature. In all due honesty in this situation how would that information really change anything, outside of maybe interjecting a bit more fear into it? Until she does something illegal, or dangerous wether or not she has a permit is irrelevant, she’s clearly an unstable person, she could already have access to a weapon with no permit.. and needs to be treated in those regards. The authorities who respond to the situation will know if she has one or not.

I can see how my phrasing could come off like that. I more meant that most legal gun owners are also responsible ones.

If something were to happen to him and she was left with his guns, there's a chance she could be seen as illegally possessing.
IANAL and I don't know how rights of survivorship apply to guns and probate, etc.

Ok, so your against it, and you stated why.
Note that I have not indicated any process in my original post.
But judging from what others are saying, you can make it difficult to obtain that information. I.e - no map of this information, But provide a good reason to a judge and then let it be released.

I'm more concerned for her kid than us. But that's a different topic.
So what's your reasoning why it shouldn't be available to the public? Are you echoing others (bad guys will use it as a tool), or do you have other concerns?

95 percent of gun owners are upper middle class?

Imagine a burglar having the ability to see which homes/residents have the ability to defend themselves with a quick google search. Does that sound like a good idea? Or what about your psychotic neighbor looking up that stuff on you?

My plan? Do you know what my plan is? I don't think I ever stated one....
I understand your reasoning on this.
Read through some of my responses to others. Make it extremely difficult for one to get that information. If I just mosey on in to the PD, just because I want to know, that wouldn't be good enough. But if I mosey on in after I called them about erratic behavior, more weight to that.

Can do just about anything with a good reason and a court order.
I agree whether or not someone has guns a permit should be public info. It'd be nice to have a map just like the sexual offender registry.

Not even that they get a permit.
John Doe is a multiple convicted felon, and really wants a gun so he can rob his drug dealer. He doesn't have a permit, and he can't buy one, but he really needs one. Under your plan, he could go online, look up "registered gun owners near me", and see everyone within walking distance that has a gun. If it were common knowledge that there is a publicly available registry of firearm ownership, criminals would absolutely use it to pick targets. Even criminals who don't necessarily want guns would still target gun owners, because they can sell that $400 pistol to John Doe for $1000.

It shouldn’t be available to the public.. it really sucks OP is in this situation, I’d just try and avoid her, and do your best to call the authorities if she’s doing something legitimately dangerous that would garner their attention. I’m hesitant to say this.. but this is a situation as to why permits exist in the first place. (For more reasons than one.)

1940s new England pocket bird book (most upset), fan/light remote & the insole for my boot- this is what I was most worried about as it was a million orange pieces and I couldn't tell what it was on cam. Stupid rain didn't allow for her getting her regular exercise I suspect, HuskyX ... oh well 🐶

How is that odd? If you have any intention to be a gun owner in this state it’s a hoop you unfortunately have to jump through, and CT is constantly changing our gun laws, and this right is almost constantly under legislative attack, this only makes the process more difficult.
