“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

U.S. Const. amend XIV. § 1.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Const. amend II.

WILL McDONALD V. CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

AFFECT THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS IN CONNECTICUT?

The individual Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms now fully applies to the States, according to the June 28, 2010, United States Supreme Court decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago, Illinois.

 

            Currently, there are lawsuits in Connecticut state and federal courts brought by individuals asserting their Second Amendment and constitutional rights related to the right to keep and bear arms, including claims:

 

·        That the one to two year period an individual must wait to have his or her appeal to the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners heard after an application for a state permit to carry pistols or revolvers is denied, revoked or not renewed violates the constitutional right to due process;

·        That openly carrying a pistol or revolver in any Connecticut location where carrying a pistol or revolver is not otherwise prohibited by the premises’ owner or by law, when in possession of a valid state permit, is not unlawful and should not subject an individual to arrest;

·        That the suitability requirement for obtaining and holding a state permit is unconstitutional as it leaves to government discretion, without any objective basis for measuring how that discretion is exercised, the determination who will be allowed to exercise his or her Second Amendment right to carry a pistol or revolver and who will not; and

·        That law enforcement’s use of the risk warrant statute to seize firearms without a warrant and then to  obtain a warrant post-seizure violates the language of the risk warrant statute, the intent of the legislature, and  basic Fourth Amendment principles  holding that warrants are signed by judges to allow law enforcement to seize property from individuals, not to condone warrantless seizures that have already occurred.
