Can you carry

I was reading "Concealed Carry Handguns 2013" today at work and they point out one very important Tip in your choice to carry a hand gun. That Tip is do not rely on what people tell you that you can or cannot do, for your own protection read the State laws.
It's like the old Joke:What is the difference between the accussed and a Lawyer? When the trials over the accused goes to Jail, the Lawyer goes to lunch. 

Here are a couple of State of Connecticut  yes/ no's.

Can you carry on School grounds: NO
Do you have to notify an officer that you have a weapon on Contact by Law? NO
Can you carry your weapon in State Parks or National Forests:  NO
Do "No Gun Signs" have the Force of the Law?  YES

                        The permit to carry does not authorize you to carry anywhere where the possession of a fire

                        arm is otherwise prohibited by law or by a person who owns or exercises control over such 

                        Premises.

Can a City or Town pass ordinances which restrict the carrying of concealed weapons; YES. Connecticut does NOT have Preemption, and Cities and States can pass ordinances that Prohibit.
Example: Woodbridge Ct. bans Firearms on all City property.
              Cities and Towns need not post property.

As of 2011 Iowa now Honors a Connecticut Permit.
