Maine has a concealed FIREARM permit. NOT a concealed weapon permit like other states. The permit is for a HANDGUN only. This was changed from the weapons permit years ago because to many people thought the word weapons meant anything they wanted it to.
Just food for thought Maine Maine has 30 some thousand permit holders ( this number is only those who have got there permit through the STATE police. Most of us get ours from our town as we are very rural. Only those form out of state or those who do not have a town office IE unorganized territories have to go through the state police.
