L.D. 44, if passed by Maine’s 128th Legislature and signed by Gov. Paul LePage, will lower from 21 to 18 the age at which a person can carry a concealed handgun. The sponsor of L.D. 44 is what some might call a “fresh face” in politics: a rising star – a young gun – and maybe he is. Only time will tell. As a first-term senator last session, Eric Brakey successfully carried the water for the NRA to get Maine’s first “constitutional carry” law passed for those 21 and older, so maybe he sees this year’s bill as icing on the proverbial cake.
