dayman, while you may have a point about Maine's constitution, it certainly did not stop Michael Chitwood (IIRC) and Portland from passing ordinances barring firearms in public housing, several years ago. I haven't followed that little mess since then, so I do not know if the courts eventually smacked them down.
Gun control has a nasty habit of targeting the poor, through its implementation. Funny how that works... |

That was probably before I was paying attention. I honestly don't know what ever came of it.
I know we just recently passed a law saying that employers cant ban employees from keeping locked guns in their parked cars (unless you work at a school or a federal building). But all in all it seems like the state has a few (but growing number) people who are for gun control in general, and a huge number of people who don't care as long as their bolt gun is in the clear. Far too few people are able to see - or care about - the big picture. Things are pretty good right now, but I just don't think the 2a crowd up here is organized enough - or has enough inroads with the general population - to put up much of a fight if there was ever an organized push to take away what we have. I'm positive there would be a lot of very angry people afterward, but that doesn't always translate into productive political advocacy. Which, is why I put VT above ME in the long term.

Well, I am happy with Maine, for now anyhow. Always worry about what will come. I got to wonder, though, when NH increased the out of state CC permit from a renewal fee of 35 to 100$, was that to decrease the number of permit holders? I am guessing that was the reason, and I am sure it worked for them. I just wont carry there, hence, wont go there. Anyhow, it does seem like a move antis would do.

The renewal fee may have been to cover costs. I know Sheriff departments here complain they lose money on CCW at $65 or whatever.
