One of Governor Ned Lamont’s executive orders violated the Second Amendment, according to a federal judge’s issuance of a preliminary injunction against Connecticut’s governor public safety commissioner, on the emergency order this week, who said the order must be modified.
The injunction was announced on Tuesday by the Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL), which was placed against Lamont and Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection Commissioner James Rovella.
The result of the governor’s orders required law enforcement to accept no new firearms permit applications, which was unconstitutional. It prevented individuals from purchasing firearms for self-defense.

The CCDL filed its action on May 9, 2020 in federal court, to modify the governor’s order after Lamont ignored a letter from April 7, 2020 that asked that the original application process be reinstated.

Meyer’s 26-page decision said that the governor’s order, “plainly burdens conduct protected by the Second Amendment,” along with law enforcement putting it into effect. The decision also read, “they categorically foreclose a person who does not already have a permit or certification from acquiring a handgun if the person’s fingerprints are not already on file. One cannot exercise the right to possess a handgun in the home for self-defense if one is prevented from acquiring a handgun in the first place.”
The governor must modify the executive order and restore the fingerprinting and firearm permit application process by June 15th.
