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.
Heck. I was thinking about getting a CCW here in Colorado but not now. I’ll just carry and be damned with the laws.
The unintended consequences of this kind of stupidity — punish the law abiding.
