Though active throughout the years, Visconti told Freedom Outpost that the gun issue is the issue that broke the camels back for him, making the decision to run for governor an easy one. Im pro-2A, pro-constitution,…Ive carried a gun for 30 years…so for me its not that I just picked up the gun issue, Visconti told us. One of the reasons that Visconti carries a gun is from an experience he had in Miami in 1980 during the Mariel Boatlift. One night coming out of the Diplomat Hotel; everyone was gone, and there was gun fire in the streets, cars burning…I got caught up in something, and I said Whoa! Visconti then moved back to Connecticut and wanted to get into self-protection because in his words, I experienced the unraveling of society. Though he had Ar-15s and accessories when he was younger that was not what really gave him a passion for the Second Amendment is all about. This 1980 incident really solidified in his mind why people had not only the right, but the responsibility to keep and bear arms. Joe not only carries his weapon, but has open carried and continues to do so at gun rallies in the state. He, along with Palin Smith, who has provided the videos in several of the Connecticut articles Ive written, has been working for years to make sure the public is informed of what its government is doing. For Visconti, the issue of gun owners rights is real. He doesnt promote gun owners rights for show, or to get elected. Its part of his life. Think about that Connecticut: Having a governor who is known to carry his weapon with him. Visconti says that alone would allow him to save tax payer money as he would not need near the size of security the current governor does.
