Possessing at in car at Portland Airport?

[SubieGuy4]

Recently moved to NH from MA and am happily settling into new-found freedom. I'm heading up to North Conway, NH this weekend for Thanksgiving, but need to stop in Portland, ME to pick up family from the airport on the way. I want to bring my Glock with me to North Conway, but I'm wondering if Maine shares any of MA's laws on possession at an airport? If the gun is locked in a GunVault under the seat and the mags/ammo are separate in another part of the car, is that ok? I'm not looking to carry into the airport or anything. Just have it in the car when I go to pick up family. I searched for answers to this unsuccessfully.

When I see a question like this It gets me looking again when I don't have an answer. Got looking in the Admin Rules for ME and found this. It states unless authorized by law and a person with a valid permit is authorized by law. The Terminal Building may be posted and if it is I would not go into the Terminal but from the way I read it it is legal to carry outside the Terminal. Look in Chapter 400 Here: http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/rules/17/chaps17.htm

This... in the car is fine. The roads and parking lots at an airport will be the same law as any laws for roads or parking lots in Maine. Please see other posts on this topic to see the details for that. It does not have to be locked up the way you are doing it.
