Judiciary Committee, Please: Oppose H.B. 5448, Support H.B. No. 5390, Support H.B. No. 5432 You must oppose H.B. 5448.  How anyone can think that taking someone’s property and stripping them of their rights should be done based on just accusations is unbelievable.  This is like 3rd World Country policing.  You must oppose HB 5448.

Dear Senator Winfield, Representative Stafstrom, Distinguished Members of the Judiciary Committee, I strongly urge you to oppose H.B. 5448.  Currently, the risk warrant is available to anyone at any time with police arriving immediately.  It makes no sense for someone to wait till the courthouse opens to file for an “extreme risk” warrant, if someone

Dear Judiciary Committee, Please oppose H.B. 5448.  This bill turns a temporary order into a permanent one without any concern for due process, with no participation of the accused, or without any independent investigation into the matter.   The bill gives no details on counsel for the respondent, the respondent’s ability for their own witnesses or cross‐examine others. The unintended consequence of this bill is that gun owners will no longer seek mental health treatment because of fear of losing their rights.   Support H.B 5390 allowing legal permit holders to protect themselves in a place of worship.  Support H.B 5432 to allow Connecticut residents more options in self-defense.  Best regards, [Name] [Town]

Judiciary Committee, Public Hearing on HB 5448, HB 5390, HB 5432 I oppose H.B. 5448.  This bill ignores due process, putting the burden of proof innocence on the accused.  When in America did we decide that not everyone deserves due process, an opportunity to be heard and defend themselves before their rights are taken from

Dear Committee, I am a resident of Connecticut and wish to voice my opposition for Bill 5448. Your opposition for this bill is important to me. There are already laws on the books that can protect people instead of this bill changing the existing law into something which I see being too easy to abuse.
