Self-Defense in Connecticut

It isn't clear if it will be considered legal at this point. News 12 | Investigation into Darien home invasion looks at potential link to Fairfield burglaries

Don't hide keys outside your home.

A trio of masked suspects located a key hidden outside one of the homes and used it to open the front door, according to [Det. Sgt. Mauricio] Vigil, who said the homeowner told them at least one of the suspects was armed.

“The homeowner confronted the three masked suspects and fired one shot at the suspects. He was fearing for his safety and the safety of his family, which included two small children,” Vigil explained.

Once there was gunfire, the 3 masked, would-be, bad guys ran like rabbits. Later a juvenile was admitted to Bridgeport Hospital with a gunshot wound. Police are investigating to see if that is related to the break in.

There were other incidents the same day in Fairfield, Connecticut, which is about 15 miles east of Darien.

Self-defense is a human right, but Connecticut is a deep blue state, so what the DA will determine about charges is beyond my ability to guess.

  1. Living here behind enemy lines in Kommiecticut is precarious if you practice self defense. It could be the most obvious case of self defense; a single woman cowering in the corner of her bedroom holding her child while facing a large knife wielding lunatic, where she is forced to shoot and kill the attacker... and they WILL try to prosecute her. After a year+ long investigation and maybe even a trial where she's found NOT GUILTY, the surviving family gets to sue her for everything she's worth for killing the family breadwinner. Even though he was "winning bread" by committing violent crimes.

    This is why I have the "Ultimate Plan" from CCWSafe. I am financially protected from all the nonsense. About $500 a year and it covers my wife and I.
