Gun rights advocates to rally at Conn. Capitol

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A Texas-based gun rights advocate is helping to organize rallies at Connecticut's state Capitol and state capitol buildings across the country to raise concerns about possible new gun legislation that could affect gun owners' rights.

The event, dubbed ``Guns Across America,'' is scheduled to take place at noon on Saturday, Jan. 19.

Organizer Eric Reed the events will be peaceful demonstrations, giving lawful gun owner the opportunity to express their concerns about gun control efforts in the wake of Newtown school shooting.

Reed says ``it's unfair to punish law-abiding American citizens who've never broken any laws for the actions of another individual.''

Gun control supporters are planning a Valentine's Day rally at the Connecticut state Capitol.
