BREAKING: WE THE PATRIOTS USA FIGHTS BACK AGAINST OPEN CARRY BAN, FIREARMS RESTRICTIONS IN CT

Last weekend, the Connecticut Senate gave final passage of a bill that bans the open carry of firearms in the state, places limits on the number of handguns that an individual can purchase at one time, and enshrines other Second Amendment violations into law. Today Governor Lamont signed the bill into law. Within minutes of the Governor's signing, we filed a federal lawsuit challenging the law as unconstitutional. We are the lead plaintiff in this lawsuit brought on behalf of Connecticut citizens, and you can read the full complaint here.


Attorney Brian Festa, Vice-President and Co-Founder of We The Patriots USA, provided comment late Tuesday. "The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is clear in that 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.' This law severely infringes upon the Second Amendment rights of the people of Connecticut. Although the bill was passed by radical anti-gun activists in the Connecticut legislature under the auspices of enhancing public safety, it does just the opposite. With crime rates soaring in the state, this law strips the law-abiding citizens of Connecticut of their right to defend themselves and their families. We will not allow this to go unchallenged, and we are confident that the United States Supreme Court will strike down this egregious violation of our natural rights."
