prolly assumed it was Lewiston Idaho, everyone in Idaho is packing heat , concealed carry without a permit is legal
Maine is also a permitless carry state, but bar carry where alcohol is served.
Concealed carry without a permit is legal here in Maine, too.
Main is constitutional carry as well. However, they do have some, from my understanding/reading, prohibitions, and Cari in certain areas such as schools and also places with a liquor license for on-site consumption, if posted it is not clear if the bowling alley or Barr posted yet.
True in Maine as well as Idaho with the limitation that you have to be 21 years old, or for 18 to 20 year olds have a concealed carry permit or be on active duty or a veteran of military service.
I don’t think you need a permit in Maine, either.
The bowling alley is big and they were having a kids bowling night. I am pretty sure there aren’t many 15 year olds packing heat.
And encouraging people to carry in a bar isn’t always a good plan either.
