Maine 72 Hour Waiting Period Begins Today

I'd move the entire thing. The return on investment for moving it all should be quickly be covered by the added cost of operating two 'partial' sites. Customers would go for the no sales tax thing too.

If I were somehow involved with NH economic development, I'd court KTP and besides the usual financial incentives offer to take an unincorporated area and have it incorporated as "Kittery, NH". [laugh]

If the 2001 SCOTUS decision hadn't given Seavey's Island to Maine, the old naval prison site would be a cool spot for a new KTP.

What’s mind numbing is no exceptions except for between family members and of course the usual LEO exemptions.
Nothing for already having a pistol permit check including a mental health check at the time of application or all renewals.

The jokes write themselves, Peggy Rotundo looks like an anorexic stick.
 
the 72 hour shyte is a direct attack on gun shows and ktp/cabelas. ktp is very pro 2a and has told the state dems/moms/antis to pound sand several times. every time a protest of ktp was arranged ktp would make room for a larger counter protest, providing water, shade, gift cards, etc. ktp now stands to lose massive amounts of money. the store is enormous and as much as i would love to see it move just over the border i doubt that the owners would be willing to spend the money to relocate the entire thing.
gome has been raising money for a legal challenge....not sure if they have to wait for a "test case" before they move. they are understandably tight lipped about their strategy.

FWIW...

What requirements does the law impose on sellers?

A seller may not knowingly deliver a firearm to a buyer pursuant to an agreement sooner than 72 hours after the agreement. This 72-hour waiting period is concurrent with any waiting period imposed by any background check process required by federal or state law.

I figured that but that doesn't really change anything in the grand scheme of things.
 
Lol just came back from the gun shop. Turns out I gotta come back again to pick it up in 72 hours. I thought the cooling off period started when I placed the order with PSA which was over 4 days ago. Nope, it's when they log your presence and time on a piece of paper you sign while you show up in the shop. Oh well. W for the dems. Waiting periods makes you cool off.

KTP would be wise to move the whole operation. Anything less really doesn’t stick it to Maine. KTP is THE anchor store for that area of the Rte 1 strip.

It is to a certain extent. There are tons of Canadians that vacation in the area and they mob the outlets (especially on rainy days). Us regular Americans just drive 10 minutes further south and buy everything tax free in Portsmouth/newington. Lol.
Would love to see ktp take over the mostly empty fox run mall, pretty sure that’s the only real estate that could fit all of ktp inventory.

And when the woman who fears for her safety, buys a gun, and that day or the next two gets severely injured or killed by a deranged lover after being told she has to wait 72 hours to possess it, then what?
 
Being Maine and the 72 hour headline I thought that was the waiting period to get a marriage license to marry your 1st cousin.

Why on earth would you think it started with the remote? That process is invisible to the state.

You'd think this would be for first time buyers only, but I guess that would require some sort of registration to determine that, so never mind lol. Just silly that some guy with 30 guns at home has to cool-down for 72 hours to buy gun number 31.

Because that isn't what it's really about.
 
MGnoob said:
It just occurred to me. Why would there be a three day cool down period for somebody who already owns a firearm?

To enforce a first purchase only, cool down, you'd need either a registration database (of at least the first purchase), that a retailer could access, of a licensing system that either, shows if that first purchase was made on the card, of a searchable database.

I agree with the logic, why would you? But the devil is in the details.
 
Thank God there is a LEO carve out!

When they need to buy a gun, they need it fast, they don't have 3 days to wait. What if they are chasing a suspected criminal and forgot their duty gun at home and need to buy one real quick to make the arrest?

The Kings Men shall not be kept waiting by any silly civilian gun laws!

Just remember to back the blue because they back you!
