Colt Employees Remind Lawmakers
About Jobs, History
Samuel Colt's legacy is alive and well. Workers, 550 of them, from the two Colt operating companies, successors of the Colt Armory that once made iconic Colt Peacemaker revolvers, boarded buses that brought them to the Legislative Office Building, part of the state Capitol complex in Hartford. They came to make their presence felt and to participate in a General Assembly committee hearing on a large number of gun-control measures under consideration.
