In Maine, Gov. Paul LePage (R) earlier voiced support for a proposal that passed the state legislature by large margins, but has since vowed not to sign any bills under protest of the lawmakers’ refusal to act on eliminating the state’s income tax.

I'm beginning to think he's certifiably insane, and possibly schizophrenic.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. W the actual F.

"LePage has 10 days to either sign or veto the Maine bill, or it will become law without his signature."

I doubt he'll veto.

Right?

Good point. It still is quite annoying though.

I like him but his strategy here is poor. If he won't sign any bill the legislature is still going to get there way since they passed the bills and after 10 days they become law. There is not much he can do to threaten them. The system works this way.

 

[PatMcD]

Come in off the ledge, boys. He's going to sign it this week sometime.

I like LePage because he pisses off many of the freeloaders and those who support those freeloading policies.

I don't understand the some of your issues. If he doesn't veto it, it automatically passes. He saves face because he told the Demo's he wasn't signing anything yet at the same time he supports this and it passes. No downside from my seat guys.

Chill out guys.

“The conceal and carry bill, are you going to sign it?” CBS 13 Reporter Brad Rogers asked.

“Sure. I can't let the Democrats kill it.” Governor LePage responded.

Governor LePage had promised to veto every bill sent to him in protest of the legislature's refusal to put a constitutional amendment before voters to eliminate the state income tax.

My first comment was informative. Second comment was tongue-in-cheek. I have a ME permit, so I'm not worried about it.

Forget standing with Rand, Big Paul 2016.

That report is wrong, he has vowed to veto all democrat sponsored bills which constitutional carry is a Rep sponsored bill

 

[soloman02]

2PM today the bill will be signed.

That will put Maine among a handful of states where people can carry concealed handguns without a permit when the law goes into effect 90 days after lawmakers adjourn later this month.

LePage's spokesman said the governor will sign the bill at 2 p.m. Wednesday but that members of the media aren't allowed at the signing. He didn't respond when asked why the media is barred from the event.

Good news. Any offical word on when non-residents can exercise this right?

There is no distinction between resident/non-resident. The law takes effect 90 days after the legislature adjourns, as mentioned above. Sept. 13-ish.

 

[RadiCS]

Awesome on Maine.. I'm jealous.

So I just have to notify the Leo if I'm carrying or is there anything else?

NH will also likely have reciprocity with Maine so if you have your NH "permit" you will not need to immediately notify police since you would be carrying under a permit/license.

I can't wait for that

I would think Oct vs Sept

 

[JoseyWales]

Awesome, as I'm from MA, I don't need to renew my non-res Maine LTC next year.

Correct. Thanks. They adjourn on 7/16.

 

[PatMcD]

A lot of thanks goes to Senator Brakey for introducing the Bill and ramming it through.
Also to the group "Gun Owners of Maine" or "GoMaine", who filled committee hearings, worked the telephones, etc..

Don't you want to thank Bloomberg and the moms too? They seems to have the reverse midas touch. Every time they campaign for something or someone, they seem to drive people away from their position.

Can we get them to NH then? We can't seem to get concealed carry through.

Actually, I heard on NRA Radio, Cam and Company that Hassan met with Bloomberg in the week prior to vetoing the NH Bill

Great news but Lepage is in a world of shit right now.....

[Horrible]

So, any indication whether LaPage is going to sign this thing (if so when?) or if he is just going to let it sit and become law?

I have no plans to visit Maine anytime soon, but that may change if this passes . Would rather support ME business than the ones here in Crap-a-chu-setts.
