1. Hand Guns in Connecticut State Parks and Forests? David sued the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection in Federal Court. He sought an Injunction prohibiting DEEP from enforcing the Connecticut law which prohibits the carrying of firearms in Connecticut state parks and forests. David said he had a constitutional right to carry a handgun in those places. Judge Victor Bolden ruled last week. We go over the arguments on both sides, explain what Judge Bolden did, and what reasons he gave for doing so. 2. Daniel and Dale are long-time gun owners. However, they just filed a national class action in Federal Court in Connecticut against the National Shooting Sports Federation (which is headquartered in Shelton, Ct.). It has to do with their rights to privacy. If the Court certifies the class action, there will be approx. 2.5 million class members seeking a piece of NSSF's checkbook. We explain what's going on and what claims Daniel and Dale are making. 3. Harold had 2 sons: Charles and Randolph. In this sorry tale of family dysfunction, Charles sues Randolph, who is executor of Harold's estate, claiming that Harold owed Charles something like $85k at the time of his death. The trial came out differently than they both expected. We look at what happened and why the Judge did what he did — a behind-the-curtain look at Judicial decision-making: what a Judge considers important in making decisions. 4. Shelley sues the Bank holding the mortgage on her home. After extensive litigation and a full Jury trial, the Jury returns a verdict to Shelley—for the magnificent sum of $251.16! Now her attorney is asking the court to add his attorney's fees onto the Judgment. How much? Oh, about $233K! we went over what the Judge did with this one. listener calls; a. divorced parents paying college expenses for their kids. b. Cops carry guns. does anyone check to see if they're intoxicated or on drugs while on duty? c. "Overtime spiking" like the State Police were accused of doing during the week: any chance the cops involved will be punished?
