Yep, non resident permit...... Yes, I know they passed that law but there are places in Maine that you still have to have a permit to carry... like some state park I think.
I really did not need to renew... I have no plans to visit but did it just because.... When I first applied back in 2019 my wife and I were planning a trip to Maine and this state park.....
And I'm pretty sure it was before they passed the permit less carry law....
the thing is we cancelled the trip after I had a massive heart attack and ended up spending the Summer in rehab.... then about 6 months later I realized I had not gotten the permit and so I complained to the governor ..... same day I sent the email complaint I got a call from a detective in the Maine State Police explaining that the FBI said I could not own a gun.... he also apologized for letting it sit on his desk for so long, we talked and I explained how they were wrong and then sent paper work showing this and a few weeks later got my permit...
I know I've mentioned it here before... but besides traffic tickets for speeding, which I have not gotten one in 10 years or more, the only criminal conviction I have is I grew a marajuana plant back in 1978 while in college. Now to be honest the FBI does have a separate file on me in regards to something else... but that is only that I was a person of interest to them. This was because the Administration of the college I graduated from was not happy with me and when the FBI sent out a flyer looking for this person, someone at the college sent my name in. The FBI agent that interviewed me figured out real quick I was not the Unabomber.... the scary thing is I did look like the artist drawing of him.....
