The Connecticut Peace Officers’ Assn will release an open letter stating that police in Connecticut will not “be party to the oppression of the people of the state by enforcing an unconstitutional law.” So far around 250 police officers have cosigned the letter.
An estimated 100,000 people in CT have not registered their guns in accordance with the new law, turning them into felons.
Now we have hundreds of law enforcement refusing to comply. Of course, there are a lot of cops that will….and we can see the squaring off of sides coming into view.
Civil war coming soon to a city near you….
A showdown is developing between a sizable number of Connecticut state police officers and the politicians who passed into law highly restrictive gun control, gun bans, and bans on high capacity magazines.
Gun rights legal expert and activist David Hardy reported Friday that 250 law enforcement officers in Connecticut have signed an open letter stating that they will not enforce the new anti-gun and magazine laws, which they consider to be a violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
A major news story on these developments is due to be published soon, but Hardy received an advanced notice via email from Tyler Jackson, the head of the Connecticut Peace Officers Association, the organization that sent the open letter.
According to Hardy,
Tyler Jackson has emailed me an interesting story, soon to appear online (I’ll link to it once it does)– the gist is that the head of the Connecticut Peace Officers’ Assn has released an open letter stating that the police will not “be party to the oppression of the people of the state by enforcing an unconstitutional law.” So far 250 LEOs have cosigned the letter.
Gunowners in the state have already ignored the mandate to comply with the new laws, refusing to register with the state government their possession of so-called “assault weapons” and forbidden magazines.
It is estimated that over 300,000 gunowners have practiced civil disobedience in refusing to register and give up the newly forbidden items. Only roughly 50,000 citizens in the state have complied.
But now these courageous citizens have key support in high places. With at least 250 law enforcement officers joining them in disobeying an unconstitutional law, the gunowners have a new weapon in their arsenal — the support of hundreds of police officers.
Hardy reported that with the lack of support of police, Connecticut faces massive civilian resistance, with police officers refusing to enforce a law that to most citizens crosses a line that is unacceptable in a free society.
If such a thing can happen in a deeply blue state in New England, what would law enforcement encounter if they attempted such an ill-fated attack on Constitutionally-protected rights in Texas, Wyoming, South Carolina, Utah, or Kentucky?
This is something that the political powers that be in government and law enforcement — and in the Courts — should think long and hard about before acting in such a knee-jerk fashion as Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Massachusetts have done.
Good

there is way to much false $#%&!@* goin on
Thanks Robert P. Odonnel
In fact :
I just received a forward letter from a friend of a friend who both wish to remain anonymous.
” I received the following message from a person I trust with my life. She received it from someone she trusts with hers.
My friend:”there is a building migration of ATF agents into CT…..”
Her friend: “Thank you. Just a heads up, watch CT very closely. the next week will be the critical period ther. Do not believe the stories about so many LEOs not wanting guns taken.. quiet watch and very, very quitely talk with your “true” friends…
Message from someone who lives up there.”
I can’t validate what this letter is saying by this resident of Connecticut but I think taking her advice and watching for what’s really going on up there is a good idea. Lot of intentionally misleading information being thrown around but I hope with all sincerity that mine is wrong!
Sooo, why don’t they just march on down to the State-House and arrest the Legislators who Voted for it for Perjury??? Isn’t Perjury a.Crime in Connecticut?
Anybody who writes only in capitals is almost certainly a psycho.
And your remarks confirm that.
PS: next time throw in some exclamation marks.
Libby and who are you to criticize of how Daniel writes with all cap letters nor with or with out an exclamation point? Are you an English teacher or simply a jerk? If you are an English teacher teach your pupils how to spell right and write a proper grammar. Many young kids now a days whom graduated high school cannot write nor spell English correctly. As a jerk part. Daniel had serve this country for 24 years and he earned your respect not criticism. A psycho? Have you look in a mirror lately?
