***FINAL Progress Update***
01/08/2017 Mailed application
01/17/2017 Check cashed my Maine
02/09/2017 "Date Issued" on license card
02/13/2017 Received
I just sent in my application for ME out of state. I live in MA about 25 minutes from that southern coastal finger of Maine. I also hike and plan to start hiking in ME next spring.
Without the permit the restrictions are too numerous and complicated for me to remember:
* Duty to notify officer
* No carrying in Acadia
* No carrying in state parks
* No carrying during deer archery season
* No carrying in Allagash Wilderness Waterway
Having a ME out of state permit makes all the above restrictions go away.
But, the out of state permit process is nuts. The package you mail in will contain:
* $60 check
* Proof of handgun safety course within last 5 years
* Passport grade photo
* Copy of birth certificate or passport
* 6 page form:
- 3 pages of "Have you ever.....Yes/No"
- list of residences in last 5 years
- list of all LTCs you have
- list of any LTC denials
- list of any LTC revocations
* A 2 page release of psych medical records
* A 1 page release of gun license and criminal records
All rolled-up, it was at least 2hrs of work before I was licking the envelope.
Interestingly they do not ask for a copy of your home state LTC, driver's license, list of references or reason you want the permit.
I'll post my progress: date check is cashed. Date I receive the license.
