It’s a shame and a sham that any legislation is needed at all.
Why don’t we tape the words ‘SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED’ on all of their foreheads?
There are a lot of errors in this story.
Gov. Paul LePage of Maine is ticked off that legislators won’t allow the people to vote on a constitutional amendment eliminating Maine’s income tax.
He has threatened to veto ANY bill introduced by democrats in retaliation.
The Constitutional Carry bill was introduced by a Republican state senator, not a democrat.
Also, the “extensive media campaign against Constitutional Carry in Maine” is non-existent. I heard a few Bloomturd commercials on the radio when the bill was being debated, but I haven’t heard any since it passed.
Also, the article says that carrying a handgun in a motor vehicle is currently illegal in Maine, even with a permit; if true, that is news to me.
Also, while it’s true that the police chiefs and sheriff’s are opposed to Constitutional Carry, the Maine State Police are for it, saying it will save them the time and hassle of issuing permits.
Dear Paul: I know you want to eliminate the INCOME TAX, but please sign the CCW bill. Go on TV and tell the great citizens of Maine to tell their lawmakers to eliminate the INCOME TAX. An ex Maine Summer resident...
Please to report that Saratoga County NY Sheriff Zurlo is going to change the current permit to “no restrictions”.
About time, but better late than never.
