Maine Could Soon Have No-Permit Concealed Carry
Many of us preppers carry a gun for self defense. Depending on where you live, you may have to jump through a lot of hoops to do so legally. But that may soon change in Maine.
On May 28 the Maine Senate approved a bill that would allow concealed carry without a permit. The existing permitting system would stay in place, since the permits are recognized as valid by some other states.
Maine law already permits individuals to carry firearms openly in most public places where guns are not explicitly prohibited.
Lawmakers supporting the bill argued that current law does little to prevent criminals from carrying concealed weapons and that law-abiding gun owners should not be criminalized for hiding firearms.

I live in Az which is free carry state ,we have had no blood baths as the left predicted in fact the crime rate declined signifintly
While Colorado isn’t new York, it isn’t Maine (or Arizona) either.
We did recall a couple of State Senators and representatives, to no avail. We still can’t have normal capacity magazines, and other infringements on our God-gioven right to self-defense abound.
I worked to make the state senate a GOP-led body. Made no difference. Can’t (reasonably) move, but will continue to make whatever difference I can.
Mr.
MagooO’bama, will there ever be any Jobs?In Michigan it is fairly easy to get CPL but no CPL would sure be a lot better. Never been to Maine but may have to consider it. Unbelievable, government officials with a few brains. Hope it’s contagious.
“As Maine goes, so goes the nation.”-an old political saying referring to elections, which may be just as applicable today on this issue Let’s hope cc passes.
One should never have to register a gun. All the permit does is identify those who the Gesthapo will come for first
We should be able to carry concealed or open carry with out a permit. Especially these days.
good 4 them
The permit was given by God and can’t be taken away so says the 2nd Amendment in The Bill of Rights. That is the only permit We The People need. Just sayin…
