Connecticut’s Right To Bear Arms
A few months ago, Connecticut witnessed a tragic shooting in Manchester. Omar Thorton, an employee of Hartford Distributors, carried his lunch box into a morning meeting where he was about to be confronted with evidence of his theft of company material. Based on this evidence the employer asked for Thorton’s resignation.
Either aware or suspicious of the purpose of the meeting, however, Thorton had secreted into his lunch box two loaded 9 mm handguns. He inked his resignation letter, but as he was being escorted from the premises, he removed the weapons from his lunch box and began shooting employees of the company, eventually taking his own life.
