As a Mainer and a supporter of Gun Owners of America, I am asking that you SUPPORT the 2 pro-gun bills being heard in the Judiciary Committee on March 26th. Although Maine has been a Constitutional carry state since 2015, the right to carry a firearm without a permit is still restricted to individuals aged 21 and older. This right is also limited in certain areas, such as state parks, where the state's “optional” carry permit is still required. Ending these infringements by passing LD 424 (HP 278), which lowers the constitutional carry age to 18, and LD 829 (SP 356) – which removes the requirement that a person have a valid permit in order to carry a concealed handgun in state parks, Baxter State Park, the Allagash Wilderness Waterway and Acadia National Park – is a much-needed step in defending the Second Amendment. I am also asking that you OPPOSE the sole anti-gun bill being heard on March 26th. LD 677 (SP 292) expands the definition of a machine gun and makes it a crime to own a “rapid-fire device” which the bill defines as a device, part, or combination of parts that increases the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm beyond its standard rate of fire. This ban specifically references binary-triggers, trigger cranks, forced reset triggers, and bump-stocks, and is an infringement upon my rights. I am asking that you uphold the U.S. and Maine Constitutions and defend my Second Amendment rights. Gun Owners of America will keep me, and our other Maine supporters informed of how you choose to vote.
