According to both Fox News and CNN in a still-developing story, a soon-to-be-fired disgruntled worker at a beer distributor has killed at least one person and wounded two. Details are sketchy at best, with various reports of the number of wounded and just how many people are dead. Hartford Distributors is one of Connecticut’s largest beer and wine distributors. The perp, a recently-hired driver for the company, had been called in for a meeting with management and union officials to discuss “a disciplinary problem.” Other reports say he was being called in for a termination meeting. Apparently, one of the wounded is a member of the family who owns the distributorship.

Ha! Connecticut Considers Legalizing Tasers for Concealed Carry
I’m not shilling for Taser, I swear. It was the AP who made TTAG’s stun gun coverage a trifecta. To wit: the news org reports that The Nutmeg State is considering a bill that would make it legal for its residents to carry stun guns for personal protection. While CT taxpayers can keep a Taser inside their abode, the law states that they have to leave ho,e without it. “A representative of the device manufacturer told a public hearing of the General Assembly’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday that customers from the state want to carry their Tasers with them when they feel most vulnerable. Peter Holran of Scottsdale, Arizona-based Taser International Inc. estimates more than 200,000 citizens are currently carrying the devices in the U.S.” The move to OK concealed carry Tasers makes sense, what with the Supreme Court decision striking down D.C.’s restrictive gun laws. Lest we forget, Connecticut has some of America’s most onerous handgun ownership requirements . . .
