Can I carry in Maine with Mass. LTC-A, unrestricted and/or NH Non-resident LTC???

[KAYSPOP]

Visiting Maine for 4 days vacation at the end of this month....
I have a Mass. LTC-A, unrestricted, as well as a NH non-resident LTC.....

Am I good in Maine with either/both of these?? If yes, are you 100% sure? If not, my options?? (I'm going July 31-Aug 3 )

No to both. Your options for concealed carry are to apply for a Maine non-resident LTC and wait up to 150 days. If you meant July 31-Aug 3 of 2014 you should be good to go if you apply soon.

Edit - yes, you can OC as gvd said, but not concealed.

Maine has no reciprocity with NH or ME.

You can open carry, that's your only option.

Neither has reciprocity with Maine so the answer would be no. Check out usacarry.com. A useful resource.

If you decide to open carry, check out and memorize this video.

I can open carry?? My G26 on my hip...With no repercussions??

(UPDATE: Just watched that video: it was AWESOME!!!!)

Yes, you can carry with your MA LTC and NH non-resident P&R License. Now, neither of the licenses will do you any good, but sure you can carry. You can even legally carry in Maine with or without them, openly, and not in a vehicle.

Um...what do you mean they "won't do me any good"??
What I'm getting from this, correct me if I'm wrong, is that I cannot legally carry concealed, yet can carry my G26 openly, on my hip, on the beach, etc etc....And why would a state, any state (though I'm sure your info is correct) allow open carry and not concealed? I don't understand the logic

I am saying is that both those licenses are meaningless in Maine. They are not recognized and there is no reciprocal agreement between the states.


There is no statute in Maine that makes the open carry of a firearm illegal, therefore, it is a legal activity. By statute, the conceal carry of a loaded firearm, or any carry of a loaded firearm in a vehicle is illegal, except under specified conditions, like having a Maine permit, for example.
