Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed a bill into law Thursday that requires subjects of temporary restraining orders to surrender their firearms until a hearing before a judge.
The law, which takes effect Oct. 1, requires that anyone who is the subject of a temporary restraining order relinquish all firearms and ammunition to police within 24 hours of receiving notice of the order.
When a person applies for a restraining order, a judge can decide to impose a temporary restraining order preliminarily based on information provided in a sworn application. |

Most restraining orders are requested as leverage in a divorce case and not because the "endangered" party really thinks that they are in danger.
This is just another attack on us gun owners by the liberals in control of the Connecticut state government. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
