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.

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 The seatbelt law being repealed and the constitutional carry bill (which would allow Mainer's legally allowed to own a gun to carry without a permit).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!

Even as their jobs have taken on the role of law enforcement in Maine's most remote locations, the state's forest rangers don't carry guns or even wear bullet-proof vests. This issue is finally being addressed. Listen to Representative (and retired State Trooper) Tim Marks and Representative Catherine Nadeau as they speak to this issue on the Moose Morning Show.
