Approach your neighbor. Say hi 👋 my name is X I live right there. Then say isn’t our neighborhood nice, you know I bet there has been dozens of children who have grown up right here on this street who have been very successful. Did you hear that little X down the street is a star on the soccer team. But you know what I’ve noticed a pattern of behavior that has concerned me. Is there anything I can do to help because we are a community that supports each other.

Either there has been some miscommunication that I’m missing or you’re lashing out for unknown reasons. I don’t know how more succinctly I can state it.

If a criminal who is targeting home owners who have guns they can steal can go to a website like the SOR but instead it shows addresses and names of people who own guns, don’t you think that’s the people who will be using it? Isn’t that putting those home owners in danger? What if they break in when the owner isn’t home and steal the guns. Then that gun is used in a crime. Is that website complicit because it helped the criminal complete the criminal act?

The relevant authorities already have the info. There is not a single good reason as to why there should be a publicly accessible database that shows who owns guns.

>The commenter above me stated it perfectly. It incentivizes criminals to target houses that are listed as “gun owners”

What kind of mental backflips are you doing over there?

The commenter above me stated it perfectly. It incentivizes criminals to target houses that are listed as “gun owners”. The privacy itself is not in the 2nd amendment, but common sense should come into play. Imagine if everybody who bought a TV for over 2k had to be put on a map?

I personally dislike when gun owners put “CCW” or other gun stickers on their vehicles, and would certainly never put one on mine because a thief will see it and think there is a reasonable chance there is a gun in the car and break in. This happens. Adding a map like the SOR would be just government complicity in the crimes.

Oh dear....

Horrible smell between marlborough and gbury yesterday. Like dead fish and garbage.

They tend to hang out in pods. I’m not a fan, too stringy.

The Constitution doesn't say anything about privacy, as the Supreme Court recently confirmed in striking down the privacy penumbra in the abortion case.

The state issues the license. Why shouldn't it be public record who has one?

Freedom of information and open government are generally protected by the First Amendment. The Second Amendment by itself definitely doesn't say anything about privacy.

Oh nooo

I had no idea

That’s horrible

I’m sick with a cold. AGAIN. I just had one 4 weeks ago

You’re welcome!!!

So your opinion is No, gun permits should not be available to the public, because a permit to operate a vehicle is not open to the public? Just trying to make a connection on your stance here...

I suspect this person also owns a motor vehicle and there is alcohol in the home. Should we alert EVERYONE! What about common tools or under the sink chemicals. All equally capable of taking a life, but I have a feeling you won't assign same level of worry.

We divest. No idea what is required to be a lawyer in CT, nor do I have a desire to call and ask. Just curious what everyones side is on this, and their reasoning behind it.

The CT bar association would have that info. You could call them and find out.

If she even has one. The public wont know as it stands right now.

Exactly. And not only a perfectly legal thing, but a constitutionally protected right.

Preface: I’m asking out of interest, not malice.

Why would you want guns impossible to purchase? (Legally of course). All of the other guns won’t magically disappear with the complete stoppage of all gun sales. Regardless of your personal opinions on guns, are there any other constitutional rights you think should be done away with?

Nearly have to be with the insanely expensive process to get your permit in this state. I have no problem with paperwork and background checks, safety class, and fingerprints, but between the cost of all of them it ends up being more than some guns themselves! Really hurts the not so well off and keeps them from being able to exercise their constitutional right.

Wow impressive response..here I am being civil and you come along with this one....

So your reasoning is it's no one business. Got it.

What they privately own is none of your damn business. If you are concerned involve police and if you have a legitimate report it will get sorted out.
