OC is being more firmly established in CT every day. Attorneys for Michael Rearden reached an agreement this week with the Bridgeport CT police department where the will pay Mr. Reardon approximately $30,000 for his unlawful detainment this summer.
Here is a link to the complaint. I will post more links as they become available.

Further, CT carriers are beginning to successfully assert their right to not show their pistol permit if questioned by a police officer. CT general statutes state:
Such holder shall present his or her permit upon the request of a law enforcement officer who has reasonable suspicion of a crime for purposes of verification of the validity of the permit or identification of the holder, provided such holder is carrying a pistol or revolver that is observed by such law enforcement officer.
In this video the OCer smartly asks the officer if he suspects him of a crime. The officer says "no". Thus removing his right to see the OCer (victim) CT pistol permit.
In general, its a good thing when we have progressed to needint go educate the cops that OC is legal to needing to educate the cops that absent RAS, they can't ask to see a pistol permit.
It should also not be lost on anyone that the OCer is black. I am trying to find out if Mr. Reardon is also black as this seems to be a problem. Cops leave white OCers alone but hassle black OCers.
