ME St. Police Stating Maine Permit Needed in Acadia Nat Park

I think you missed my point.

I renewed my Maine NR license specifically so we can visit Acadia and be within the law. My reading was that either license gave you the right to be armed in Acadia. I haven't revisited the Maine State website about this over the past 2 years however.

Reciprocity isn't an issue to me as long as I reside in Mass. Mass will never allow reciprocity with anyone, ever.

Sorry this has taken me so long but I was conferring with some other people who know this stuff to make sure I have the right info. I think my reference was still based on the old Maine State Police website before they redid it after Constitutional Carry and other laws were passed.

The State Police website states:

"Acadia National Park (Maine Permit required; 12 M.R.S. §756), .........." http://www.maine.gov/dps/msp/licenses/weapons_permits.html

12 M.R.S. §756 reads "G. When the firearm is a concealed firearm carried by a person to whom a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm has been issued as provided in Title 25, chapter 252. The person must have in that person's possession the permit as required in Title 25, section 2003." http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/statutes/12/title12sec756.html

Title 25, Chapter 252 is the chapter of Maine law regarding conceal carry permits. http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/statutes/25/title25ch252sec0.html

So it appears that I had out dated information on that as well. I will correct my earlier statement. Both Maine resident and non resident permits are good in Acadia. And any resident permit from a state that has reciprocity in Maine are also good.
