State may become sixth in nation to not require permits for concealed handguns
Senate lawmakers in the northeastern state of Maine have approved a bill that would eliminate the need for concealed carry handgun permits, instituting a concept popularly known as “constitutional carry.”
In a 21-14 vote Thursday, the republican-controlled Senate approved L.D. 652, “An Act To Authorize the Carrying of Concealed Handguns without a Permit.”
The bill would allow members of the public “not prohibited from possessing a firearm to carry a concealed handgun without a permit.”
Pro-gun politicians hailed the bill’s passage as a major step forward in securing the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
