I have not been following this closely but there is a current Supreme Court case which will be the first major gun case in the last decade and it will come out in the next month. It is actually challenging everything Mookie said 2 posts ago. Note the whole article but here is 2 paragraphs since it is paywalled

The case: Can New York place severe restrictions on who can carry a gun in public? (New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen)

For 108 years, New York has said that anyone who wants to carry a gun in public must apply for a license, and he or she must be at least 21, have no criminal record, have “good moral character” and — this is the part really being challenged — a demonstrated need to carry the gun beyond average public safety fears. This is known as “proper cause.”

Two men from Upstate New York challenged the state’s law when they applied to carry a gun at all times but received allowances only for hunting or going to and from work. They sued, arguing the strict law violated their Second Amendment rights to “keep and bear arms.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/19/supreme-court-gun-case/

Who knows what this current 9 justices will do shrug



Connecticut is what as known as a "may issue" state when it comes to purchase and carry permits for guns. Which means the gun laws have a suitability clause - state or local police can deny your request for the nebulous reason that you are not suitable.
