Maine concealed carry - mine expires soon, do I need a new one?

[MaxStravinsky]

I've got a NH Non-resident, a Utah Non-resident, but my Maine is going to expire this summer. Do I need to renew it, or am I covered?

(figured someone here would know the answer)

thanks!

Seems that Governor LePage signed that constitutional carry law for all in Maine last year. But, there's that sticky 'must inform the LEO' clause if you don't have a concealed carry permit. I'm planning on keeping mine for a while.

IANAL

and you can't carry under constitutional carry in some parks (like Arcadia)

 

[smith945]

There are also places that are requiring a permit to carry concealed, specifically Acadia National park and all state parks.

During certain hunting activities, Archery deer season is one.

Dont mean to hijack thread, but why have a non resident utah permit? Is it for travel?

Utah non-resident covers you in something like 32 different states. It's great if you spend any time travelling in the US. I go back to Tennessee 3-4X a year and it's nice to know that I'm covered in every state around there by the non-resident permits I hold.

It gives you multiple-state reciprocity. It's a great idea if you travel and want to carry without having an issue. Some states in the South will honor your home permit as they honor their own.

Many states allow open carry without a permit.

I'm keeping my Maine non resident for the obvious reasons.

 

[browncoat]

If you are paranoid, a permit issued by the state you are in protects you from the GFSZA crazy borders.

Some states issuing Non-res licenses require you to have a license in your home state. recently saw a person post they couldn't get a NH non-res license because NJ, where they live, won't give them a license.

 

[MaxStravinsky]

I obviously have a MA license, too. I was wondering if it's necessary for me to have a non-res Maine license just for those times when I'm shopping or vacationing there.

I just renewed mine last year, knowing that in theory I might not need it.

My reasons (YMMV):

- I have no desire to declare that I'm carrying if not required (only works if you keep your ME License).
- Would like to venture to Acadia (illegal to carry there if not holding ME License).
- Not 100% certain but think other state parks also require a ME License to be legal.
- The cost isn't onerous for the amount of time that it is valid.

Not a huge concern but yes, the 1000' GFSZ Fed Law issue is avoided with a ME License, but not if you are under Constitutional Carry.

It's a decision each person needs to make for themselves. If all you are doing it hitting KTP and the outlets across the street, I wouldn't see the need to keep the license.

The quick simple answer is no, you don't need it. There are no metal detectors at any state or national park that I know of.
On the other hand, if you have one now, I'd renew it.

 

[mothybee]

I do because it's Lepage's last term. If the moonbats get their way, the law could change and Lord knows what the waiting period will be with everybody applying at once.

 

[drgrant]

I would renew it given the fact that it lets you duck out of must notify.

Sorry I missed that you were MA.

LePage is on his last term and I'm sure his replacement is going to reverse many of the good things he did while in office.

Can you still apply and get a CCP even though they passed a constitutional carry law?

Yes you can.

Renew it, constitutional carry won't preclude you from the 1000ft rule of the Gun Free Schools Act of '90.
