Reply to comment by AdHistorical7107 in here's a question regarding gun control by AdHistorical7107

Fair enough I assumed internet search but you didn’t say that.

I think it does make sense for law enforcement or courts to be able to readily have that info, and concerned residents should probably be able to initiate a probe of that info for the right reasons. That to me sounds like a good middle ground.

They most likely do (at least I hope so lol).

LEO has easy access to info on REGISTERED weapons. Typically sane, sober and moral people are the ones taking their time to register weapons. The neighbor you described would likely be baffled by the process.

If you are doing those things legally is what I meant. You still need to pass a background check and have a permit in most cases. Or you can just buy a gun out of state and drive it home.

Buying a firearm out of state without adhereing to the laws of your local state is illegal. Obviously people still do it.

Can you elaborate on that last sentence?

You mean someone could physically do it, not legally do it; It would be contraband within this state, right?

Correct, just physically able not legally able if you were someone legally or mentally bound from following the legal process, A couple hours in a car and you can have a gun in your house with none of the hassle.

Neighbor I speak of is a lawyer apparently. I doubt she would be baffled by it.

If they are and attorney, it sounds like she is breaking the attorney’s code of ethics and should have her license evoked .

If she even has one. The public wont know as it stands right now.

The CT bar association would have that info. You could call them and find out.

We divest. No idea what is required to be a lawyer in CT, nor do I have a desire to call and ask. Just curious what everyones side is on this, and their reasoning behind it.

As a lawyer I'm a little alarmed by what you're saying. You can easily look up who has a law license, here: https://www.jud.ct.gov/attorneyfirminquiry/attorneyfirminquiry.aspx

I know how to look up a law license lol. I may have misread that someone was saying you can find out if a lawyer has a gun permit by calling the CT Bar. If police can't do so, my bet is the CT BAR can't either

I was saying the person’s behavior you are describing is against the ethics they need to live by in order to maintain their license. I wasnt talking about guns at all. Your concern was their behavior right?

If they are typical people, they are only temporarily sane, sober, and moral. True in the strictest sense for everyone that's ever lived.

I think this is the point many pro2a folks ignore. That guy in Bristol who shot two cops, was a sake, sober, moral, law abiding gun owner, until he wasnt....
