Is the concealed carry of firearms for lawfully permitted individuals in businesses (EG. Apparently EVERY mall (or most) in the state) an arrestable offense? Or is it simply against the rules of the business in which case you could be asked to leave?
Do “No Gun Signs” Have the Force of Law?
“YES”
Sec. 29-28 …Permit to Carry Pistol or Revolver…
(e) The issuance of any permit to carry a pistol or revolver does not thereby authorize the possession or carrying of a pistol or revolver in any premises where the possession or carrying of a pistol or revolver is otherwise prohibited by law or is prohibited by the person who owns or exercises control over such premises.
Sec. 29-37. Penalties. (a) Any person violating any provision of section 29-28 or 29-31 shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than three years or both, and any pistol or revolver found in the possession of any person in violation of any of said provisions shall be forfeited
The above site is a wealth of information. Not only on CT but all other states as well. Just a word of warning though. Laws are changing constantly, Gary does his best to stay on top of things, but something could happen he isn't aware of. It is YOUR to know and follow the laws where your at.

Is it something they try to claim/enforce, but isn't actually legal? I lived in CT for almost 5 years and never knew this. Seems like if it WERE enforceable, then many of the more libtard cities would be doing it, like New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, etc...
Huh, glad I never ran into any trouble. I got my permit from Naugatuck pretty easily and carried everywhere.
