The publisher's summary

Today, the Justice Department opened an investigation into Middletown and Waterbury , Connecticut, to determine whether they unnecessarily delay the issuance of firearm permits to their residents. The Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear firearms — including the right to carry firearms. The investigation will focus on the Middletown and Waterbury police departments’ permitting systems.
