To much is at stake to stay home.  Vote on Tuesday, November 3rd ! 

Make sure your 2A voice is heard! Polls will be open from 6AM-8PM

Voting is the BEST and  EAISIEST way to protect your rights.  Electing candidates that support the right to keep and bear arms makes all of our jobs easier when it comes to the constant fight we have in Hartford.  Imagine a legislative session where we don't have oppose legislation designed to take away your rights.  Even better, imagine a legislative session where we are going to Hartford to support Pro-2A legislation!  With diligent work and the support of our members, THIS CAN HAPPEN.  It all STARTS with the ballot box.  It is not enough to just say you support gun rights - you MUST do something.  And that something starts on Tuesday.  Commit to voting and even better, commit to taking friends and family to the polling station and vote for CCDL endorsed or Pro-2A candidates.

Be sure to check out the CCDL candidate grades and endorsements, and vote for candidates who support your rights.
