Small vistory for Maine... CCW Rights Protected

It looks like our right to confidentiality as permit holders will be law!

AUGUSTA — A bill to shield identifying information on concealed-handgun permits, strongly supported by Maine's gun-rights grassroots, was approved by a two-thirds majority in the Maine Senate on Wednesday.

The bill will go to Gov. Paul LePage's desk after procedural votes.

The measure passed the Senate 27-8, suggesting it will get the two-thirds recommendation necessary for the bill to take effect as emergency legislation upon LePage's signature. The House approved the bill Tuesday on a 106-40 vote.

The bill, L.D. 345, sponsored by Rep. Corey Wilson, was backed by the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine, the National Rifle Association and the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence, among other groups.

Hats off to David Trahan and the Sportsmans Alliance of Maine. He is working his butt off for us. If you live in Maine, join SAM.

That's great news. Thanks to all who helped us make it possible.

And Ryan. The vote on the magazine capacity out of committee was crap. A procedural vote that only passed because a republican was missing from the meeting and the chair (D) needed to vote the party line to break the tie. It will die when it comes up to vote.

Congratulations to the citizens of Maine.

Just a quick reminder:

As often and as easy as it is to write the politicians doing the wrong thing, make sure to write your statesmen a quick "thank you" for doing the RIGHT thing. In this hostile environment, it is critical that we provide moral support for those who stand up for our rights.
