WV and Montana both passed similar laws. Their 2nd amendment friendly Rat governors vetoed.

Constitutional carry likely will be passed in Maine as the governor is R.

“Constitutional carry likely will be passed in Maine as the governor is R.”
If it passes the state House, it surely would be signed into law by Gov. LePage. But the state House is 52% Democrat and only 45% Republican, with the balance being “Independents.” Will enough rural Democrat Representatives vote for constitutional carry?

I doubt it will make it past their house of representatives.
78 Democrat, 68 Republican, 5 Independent.
But if they can get some Democrats to join, the governor is a Republican.

“Constitutional carry likely will be passed in Maine as the governor is R.”
I hope so, but the House is majority (D). A majority in the House, mostly Republicans with some Democrats, have signed on as co-sponsors.
Governor Paul LePage has a very good 2nd Amendment track record.
To: Red Steel
Just like the Ten Commandments that God etched in stone as His Law to be followed without change for all time(that's why its in stone), the Ten Amendments to our Constitution are our Founding Father's Law meant for us to follow as to guarantee our own personal Freedom and Liberty from governmental tyranny and for self protection. The best way for those in the federal government to destroy any of those Ten Amendments is for it to allow the states to set their own standard in deciding which of those amendments are worthy of compliance and to what degree.
Accordingly, our Founders spoke truth and clarity in their words thus the Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear in it's meaning thus carrying a firearm concealed or otherwise does not require a reason nor permission issued by some politically biased bureaucrat. Ones permission to carry a firearm is already stated in our Constitution. Aside from that, it is natural law that dictates how one prepares and responds to ones surroundings, not some wimpy anti-constitutionalist POS politician in a state house nor in DC.

Virtually all Mainers own, and know how to use, firearms. D, R, Male, Female, Straight, Gay, it doesn’t matter. I think Maine is the most heavily armed state in the Union. It’s likely this will pass.

Constitutional carry likely will be passed in Maine as the governor is R.When it comes to La Page - no likely about it. He'll sign it with a flourish.
La Page is everything people thought Christie was - La Page is the real deal.

The bill was orginally sponsored by more than 50 percent of the house. To have more than 20 sponsors is unusual.
