STAMFORD – Four men and one woman were shot following an altercation outside a local nightclub early Sunday.
...
Dayron Wills, 22, of 300 Tresser Boulevard, admitted he was involved in the altercation.
...
Wills told police he pulled out a handgun and began shooting the other person involved in the altercation and then discarded his weapon.
...
Police said Wills does have a valid pistol permit and was legally registered to carry the weapon.
Police said they also seized a small amount of marijuana from Wills.

So here we have a nightmare situation. In CT, which was already turned rabidly anti-gun after the Sandy Hook shooting (it was only anti-gun before but would not characterize it as being rabidly so until Dec. 2012) we have a licensed, legal gun owner acting like a jackwagon and shooting up people in the street in Stamford. One of our main arguments has always been that the legal/licensed guys aren't the ones committing crimes. Of course out of thousands and thousands with permits in this state it is ONE example. A statistical anomaly. But that's all it takes to get the antis all riled up all over again, especially because Gov Malloy was mayor of Stamford before his big promotion, so this is kind of his back yard.
So question is, what legal repercussions do we see coming, if at all, now that the anti gun crowd has a poster child for "responsible gun owners gone bad!"
And at this point is there anything we should be doing to counter it? I realize that may fall under the topic of activism and mods, if you want to move it feel free. I'm just thinking this is a legal matter since there may be resulting legislation related to this.
At least nobody got killed....
