Jeffrey Stella, D-9, a co-sponsor of the measure. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporters contend that it would help take illegal guns off the street. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy situation here is that people that want to carry guns illegally know that the state law allows them to refuse to show their license, so what is to prevent someone who is carrying illegally, who knows the law, to just say \u2018I\u2019m sorry but my constitutional rights and state law says I don\u2019t have to show you my gun permit,\u2019\u201d said Jeff Curtis, D-14, another co-sponsor of the measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, pushed back at the notion that this resolution would be an effective crime-fighting tool. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis proposal looks to be a solution in search of a problem,\u201d said Mark Oliva, NSSF director of public affairs in an email to GunsAmerica.&nbsp; \u201cGun control advocates, we know, view lawful gun ownership and the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms as a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe [real] problem here is unlawful gun possession and city officials are asking state lawmakers to make it legal to target law-abiding gun owners as if they are the problem,\u201d Oliva continued. \u201cConnecticut\u2019s resources would be better spent targeting the criminals who prey upon the most vulnerable in the state and recognize that lawful gun ownership isn\u2019t a problem in search of a remedy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/to-disclose-or-not-to-disclose-here-is-the-answer\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"city-would-require-gun-owners-to-show-permits-to-leos\" title=\"City Would Require Gun Owners to Show Permits to LEOs\u00a0\">To Disclose or Not to Disclose: Here is the Answer<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, this measure is nothing more than a way to harass law-abiding gun owners, specifically those who carry openly.&nbsp; Because for concealed carriers who do it responsibly, they\u2019re going to go unnoticed by law enforcement the vast majority of the time anyhow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Criminals, naturally, also carry concealed to avoid scrutiny from police. This means, again, this law is designed to target open carriers.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s also a way to suppress gun-rights rallies where attendees often bear arms in view of the public. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One has to ask oneself what would happen if other Constitutional rights were treated this way.\u00a0 Can you imagine having to show police a license to carry a bible?\u00a0 Or a license to speak freely or publish on a blog? \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is this resolution makes zero sense unless the goal is to put the screws to law-abiding citizens.\u00a0 The good news is the state legislature rejected a similar proposal in 2017.\u00a0 Hopefully, it will once again see the folly of the measure and vote it down again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned for updates. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should citizens be compelled to show their gun licenses to law enforcement?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":151502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-151501","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>City Would Require Gun Owners to Show Permits to LEOs\u00a0<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Should citizens be compelled to show their gun licenses to law enforcement?\u00a0 \u00a0\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/city-would-require-gun-owners-to-show-permits-to-leos\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"City Would Require Gun Owners to Show Permits to LEOs\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Should citizens be compelled to show their gun licenses to law enforcement?\u00a0 \u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/city-would-require-gun-owners-to-show-permits-to-leos\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-09-15T15:00:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-07T18:46:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/CCDL_.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"712\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
