There seems to be some confusion about OC in CT being legal or not. At least on this site. Well, OC is perfectly LEGAL in CT. When the police get a MWAG call, they can simply ask the caller rather or not the person in question is threating, brandishing it, or simply walking, shopping, eating etc. The problem it seems is MOST dispatchers don't or simply won't ask these questions! Why?? Instead they dispatch multiple units and treat the OC as a criminal?? BOP addresses illegal activity. So why charge someone who's NOT breaking any laws with BOP?? I'll tell you why. It seems to me that once police are called, they then feel they HAVE to charge someone with a crime, ie; BOP. I've seen this over and over on other sites and hence the fear of OC'ing. The state police have been trying to make CT a CC only state for years, while other states are legalizing OC. Doesn't make much since, but then again this is CT.........
