I happen to live in a small town in Northern New England, too.
There are only a handful of towns and counties that are not in the hands of the DemonRAT-communists. The town offices, state legislatures and governors offices and congressional delegations of all the New England states are occupied by communists or communist sympathizers (a couple of RINOs).
The state and local police are dominated by the Unions (DemonRAT-communists). Even if they disagree with orders to disarm you, they will attempt to do so if so ordered, with very few exceptions. You can count on it.
You have to go north of Augusta to find any true constitutionalists in greater proportions than communists. And the communists still run the towns and counties through the unions.
I can’t predict with certainly how it will go, but I surmise that with few exceptions, most gun owners will comply with whatever regulations the commies make for them.
I disagree, but even if 90% comply, that leaves 10,000,000 with weapons that won't submit to unconstitutional laws.
There aren't that many cops and military in the US.
Logistics win and lose wars.

I live in coastal Maine, WAY north of Augusta....Hancock County.
The Portland area of Maine is moonbat central. The police chief in Portland, and those that came before him, are hostile towards the second amendment.
Here in the northern half of Maine, people are armed to the teeth and I can’t see them giving up their firearms under any circumstances. I know some of the cops in these parts and while I can’t speak for all of them, I believe large numbers of the rural cops would be on the side of the people.
I’ve known conservatives who are, or were, in positions of authority in town offices and city councils. The moonbats seem to be concentrated in the high-priced coastal communities. There are a number of transplants from Massachusetts and New York....those are the ones to watch out for.
At least we have Paul LePage, a TEA Party guy, as Maine governor.
I am from rural Vermont but I have been traveling the world for most of the past five decades; currently in Alaska. I have been planning to go back home to build a small house and live out my remaining years on the forty acres we own near the Canadian border. Now I am not so sure that is a good idea but I have been planning on it so long I don’t know want to let the b@st@rds prevent me from having the life I have dreamed of so long.
