I do not have an existing LTC. My Mass license is in the process.. I am waiting for my appointment.
I want to get my Maine one in the meantime, and was hearing mixed answers.
Does Maine require an existing permit, if so, is it ANY existing permit, or one from your state of residence?
If Maine does not, and I go ahead and get my Non Resident Maine License, how can I legally purchase a firearm, if that is my only permit? I know I cannot buy one in Maine at a store, as they would require it to be shipped to Massachusetts dealer, correct? I do not have my MA LTC yet, so is it possible to legally purchase a firearm Private Party while in the state of Maine so I can Carry with my Non-Resident License?
I would keep the firearm in my Maine House so it would never come back into Massachusetts.
Edit: Also, if I cannot legally purchase at all, is it legal for me to carry with my Non-Resident Maine license using a legal firearm say owned by my father in-law?
Thanks!
