Waterbury responds to Connecticut Carry's demand to stop denying permit applications for refusal to supply unlawful additional requirements. Their response is that they have educated their officers to no longer do this. They go on to indicate that they will still ignore the law and perform overbearing investigations without cause after the permit application is submitted.
The Waterbury Police Department has retreated to a new line in the sand. One that is also indefensible. Connecticut Carry will investigate how the Waterbury Police Department implements this policy and take actions as necessary from there.
Take note of the Waterbury Police Department's use of the word 'defendant'. Clearly, they have taken a position that someone who applies for a permit is guilty of something and is defending themselves. The Waterbury Police Department needs to change their assumptions of guilt when dealing with law abiding citizens.
