I respectfully suggest that you follow your own advice and read the law ... carefully. Open carry IS legal in Connecticut, and an advisory confirming that was sent to all local PDs in the state by the Connecticut State Police just a few weeks ago.
The legislature considered changing that with the massive gun grab law that was enacted in April, but that change didn't make the cut. Open carry was and still is legal in Connecticut.

Places as listed in the “Places Off Limits” above apply to those who open carry. When open carrying, be prepared for Police Officers to question you as open carrying firearm gets their attention. Connecticut does not have preemption and Cities and Counties may have Laws/Ordinances against Open Carry.
