concealed

Breaking down the who, what, where, when, and why about what people are Googling about Maine.

Whether you are a fan of firearms or not, tomorrow (Thursday, 10/15) is an important day. It's the day that Maine Constitutional Carry becomes law. That means no permit and no training will be necessary in order to carry a concealed handgun. Open carry (visible to everyone) has always been the law.

What thing to know about Governor LePage. He does what he says he'll do. He said he'd sign the constitutional carry bill and yesterday, he did just that. In 90 days (the length of time necessary for the law to take effect), a concealed carry permit will no longer be necessary to carry a weapon in Maine. Open carry is already allowed.

This site, I realize, has all different opinions but I'm going to voice mine here and welcome you do do the same by commenting and/or taking the poll. Maine is discussing the possibility of Constitutional Carry of hand guns which, if passed, means this: Anyone who can legally own a gun in Maine would be allowed to carry it concealed, without a permit to do so.

Wednesday at 1pm in room 436 of the Maine State House, the bill to allow concealed carry of a handgun in Maine, without a permit, will have a public hearing. Senator Katz talked with us about that this morning and gave us a couple of updates as well.

Our weekly Koffee with (Senator Roger) Katz chat focused mostly on a couple of things. The seatbelt law being repealed and the constitutional carry bill (which would allow Mainer's legally allowed to own a gun to carry without a permit). What does the senator think? Find out!

This morning, Mac and I were talking about how amazing women are. He couldn't find the keys to the Moose Caboose as he was getting ready to come in. He looked for a half-hour before, reluctantly, waking up his wife, Jeana. She hadn't even seen them, yet, within twenty seconds, had her hands on them. Which brings me to this next amazing story.
