i may be going to maine soon on a short vacation and i was not entirely sure i had the ME laws down %100.
i know i wouldn't have any problem bringing any of my firearms that i'd planned on brining but i had some questions about carrying. i know open carry is legal but according to everything i've read to be able to carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle you have to have a CCW permit.
if for whatever reason i found myself in a vehicle if we had to go into town to shop would i be correct in saying that i'd have to unload the firearm i was carrying? would popping the round out of the chamber, putting it back in the mag and then keeping the magazine out of the firearm in my pocket be legal for the trip or does the chamber just have to be empty on an automatic?
