Descrição
Is one ( or responsible HR Director ) aware of the critical nature of most employment laws governing fire-arms related or brought into the employee work place in CT.
As this question parallels perfectly in the below article many read tonight and was written by the "AnsOversightCommittee" team this incident most definitely needs some delicate addressing and not overlooking the ability to Discharge from duty.

The Ansonia Fire Chief (if that's what this is about) is a volunteer, not an employee. His guns are legally registered. Nobody has accused him of using the guns improperly. The criminals are the people who broke into his office and stole the guns.
What is the issue you want "fixed"?

My synopsis is two fold. Investigate the initial robbery and parallel the investigation with facts behind why topic items were even stored in a public facility weighing in on restrictions guided below:
CT- Law Cab: Possession of a Weapon on Public Grounds -- § 53a…217
A defendant would be charged [in court] with the possession of a weapon on public grounds. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of possession of a weapon on public grounds when, knowing that such person is privileged to do so, such person possesses a (firearm / deadly weapon) (in or on the real property comprising even in a public or private elementary or secondary school / at a school-sponsored activity).
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Possessed a firearm or deadly weapon
The first element is that the defendant possessed a (firearm / deadly weapon).
• "Firearm" is defined by statute as any sawed-off shotgun, machine gun, rifle, shotgun, pistol, revolver or other weapon, whether loaded or unloaded, from which a shot may be discharged. You must find that the firearm was operable at the time the defendant possessed it.1
• "Deadly weapon" is defined by statute as any weapon, whether loaded or unloaded, from which a shot may be discharged, or a switchblade knife, gravity knife, billy, blackjack, bludgeon, or metal knuckles. If the weapon is a firearm, it may be unloaded, but it must be in such condition that a shot may be discharged from it. Thus, if the weapon is loaded but not in working order, it is not a deadly weapon. If the weapon is unloaded but in working order, it is a deadly weapon.
“Possession" means either actual possession or constructive possession. Actual possession means actual physical possession, such as having the object on one's person. Constructive possession means having the object in a place under one's dominion and control.

Did you mean to say "burglary" instead of "robbery"? That's not the kind of mistake I would expect an aspiring prosecutor to make.
I think ALL city empoyees should be REQUIRED carry firearms at all times and would support a change in the law to make that possible.
