The legislative session is starting in 18 days.  That's short notice, but what about a holster-wearing, sign-waving, constitutionally-protected rally at the state capital all day?

January 20th, Wednesday.

9AM to 1PM

No organization, so, individuals on there own accord happen to be there at the same time,  ON THE SIDE WALK ONLY.


- DO NOT bring or do anything that could be construed as illegal by HRS.
- Be professional, dress professional, keep the signage professional.
- Do NOT get into any confrontations.  Ignore trolls that may happen by.
- Clean up after yourself

Who's in ?

Or en holster protest? Or maybe less scandal is better.....

We should try to organize it through hdf or hra so as to spread the word better.

Depending on the date, I would like to take part.

It would be nice if HDF or HRA or both got involved. Unfortunately both seem to move like molasses in sub zero temperatures, even if you can get them to respond.

Both organizations seem to be more concerned with "not losing" rather than winning, an attitude that all but guarantees losing by inches.

I say they can join us if they want.

JMHO

In.

You should make it a poll to see how many people are going to show up.

Area Parking? Cost?
Bus routes?


Please post.

Anyone want to prepare the contents of fliers that we can hand out to people?

I volunteer my printer to print out copies for this.

An excellent idea!

We can hand them out to legislators as well.

It should focus on what a miserable failure control laws have been across the nation. Stats on CCW and crime, etc.

You on island brother?

Maine House Sides With Senate: The 2nd Amendment Is Your Carry Permit

by AWR Hawkins1 Jun 201512,184

On Monday, the Maine House joined with the Senate and passed LD 652, legislation which abolishes the concealed carry permit requirement in the state.

The measure passed the House Monday by a vote of 83 to 62 after passing the Senate by a vote of 23-12 on Friday.

According to the Portland Press Herald, LD 652 would leave the permitting process in place for those who want one for the purposes of concealed carry reciprocity, but it would be eliminated as a prerequisite for carrying in the state for self-defense.

In passing the legislation, the House added two amendment: “One would limit permitless carry to individuals 21 years old and older. The other requires those carrying a concealed handgun to tell a police office if they’re in possession of a weapon iduring a traffic stop.”

Maine already has open carry without a permit, and state senator Eric Brakey (R-Auburn) put forward LD 652 so residents legally carrying in the open would not be criminalized when a jacket or other piece of clothing covered their gun.

If the bill is signed by Gov. Paul LaPage (R), Maine will join Alaska, Arizona, Kansas, Vermont, and Wyoming, as states in which the Second Amendment is one’s carry permit. Montana is also on the list, only requiring a concealed carry permit within city limits within the state.

On April 9, Breitbart News reported that Maine State Police support rescinding the concealed carry permit requirement in the state. They pointed to the hassle of differentiating between when a gun is or isn’t concealed and said Maine would “be better off” without a concealed carry permit.

I would be there but will be outta state. I will make all effort to send a proxy in my place tho

I'd like to see the gun shops support this and show up.

It might just be me, but they don't seem very active politically.

Every time a new panic starts because Obama talks about banning something, they make out like bandits!  Look what happened the week after Sandy Hook.  I bought my Colt LE6940 that Monday.  I went back on Thursday to get some ammo.  Sold out! 

Looked like locusts hit the place since Monday.  Every single black rifle was gone, as well as over half the AK variants, along with every case of 5.56/.223 ammo in the warehouse.  No AR PMags on the walls, either.

I know they want to service their customers by having enough inventory on island to sell you what you need when you need it, but to be able to sell a year's worth of firearms in a month?   And the icing:  short supplies, high demand, and subsequent price increases.

I'd shut up and color, too!
