A kick in the crotch is the only thing these bastards understand.
However, the Sussman/Rep Pingree owned Portland Press Herald is taking up the banner. Emergency legislation to prevent the gathering of CCW info in Maine is being fast tracked through the legislature with the governor in support.
CCW permit applications have exploded in Maine. The waiting period is now up to 90 days (vs 30 a few weeks ago) and the backlog is about 2400 applications. I don’t have a current number for total CCW holders in Maine but a few years ago it was about 30,000 or around 3% of the adult population.
Yeah...there is this road to hell I keep hearing about paved with "Good intention"
In these times of seeing technology as the panacea for all ills, a law abiding citizen ought to be able to be immediately told what God-given rights are being limited simply by asking on a website.
A CCW should be an implied right of any law-abiding citizen.
Given the extensive profile that law-enforcment maintains on every citizen the “Instant Check” burden should be on law-enforcement, if they have reason to believe someone lawfully stopped should not have the automatic right of concealed carry.
These ‘technology initiatives’ should just as easily be able to be used to limit government, not expand it’s power
They are sons of bitches. In their “minds” the law-abiding honest non-violent citizen who when through the procedures required to obtain a permit is the CRIMINAL, while the violent thug is the HERO.
Proof: the left has no intention of taking guns from criminals.
Newspapers using intimidation tactics against lawful citizens.
They may want to check 6 quite often.
Publish name, home address, telephone, email and Google Street View pics of their homes and offices.
To illustrate if there is a pattern between geography and Liberal Arrogance; research and educational purposes only of course.
“arms” are for all, not just for “law abiding” citizens.
If you were black and living in the south in the 1940’s the powers that be could decide you were not law abiding enough, of good enough character or make any other claim to deny your inalienable right to “bear arms”. (Selma)
If you are living in any Demon-rat controlled hell-hole, they can decide that you are not equal-enough to protect your family. (Chicago)
Don’t push the “law abiding” part too far. If you get a parking ticket ‘cuz you missed feeding the meter by 2 minutes, you are not law-abiding.
The Constitution does not state “law-abiding”.
How about the Federal/State/Local Gubmint gets out of the business of denying inalienable rights completely by going with Constitutional Carry everywhere?
I like the link to the Happy Valentine’s day from guns.com
No way those gals can conceal their guns.
Research and investigative purposes.
Just like San Francisco’s Bernie Ward had child porn on his PC for “research purposes.”
North Carolina has legislation in the works protecting confidentiality of CCW holders.

Lesson No. 1: When conservatives and patriots get organized and scream at the leftists, they back down. It’s all about taking the Founder’s warnings to heart and acting - liberty requires vigilance.
And I'm the King of England.
But BDN’s leadership claimed that they weren’t going to do what the Journal News did, they were simply going to study the information, examine it to see if any trends related to crime and public safety emerge.
They only did it for the sake of the chirrrdren...
