Westport Police Chief Opposes Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act

WESTPORT, CT — Westport Police Chief Foti Koskinas and Fairfield Police Chief Gary MacNamara signed a letter that opposes the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. The bill is being considered by Congress and would make states honor concealed carry permits from any other state.

“This is very dangerous for the public and our officers," Koskinas said. "Here in Connecticut we require in depth background checks and firearms safety training. We would now be forced to allow individuals to carry guns from states that may not employ these rigorous requirements.”
