Well.....the 2nd Amendment won a victory today.....Maine passed Constitutional carry...or in a sane world would just be normal people able to carry guns for self defense without needing politicians to say it's okay....since the politicians are surrounded by armed security....
Mainers Excited For Constitutional Carry — Women Leading The Way, Demand Training! | Concealed Nation
AUGUSTA, MAINE — Maine’s constitutional carry bill went into effect on October 15th and gun store owners are already noticing an uptick in business as Mainers get ready to embrace the bill. Notably amongst the sales are small and compact pistols that seem to be particularly popular with Maine women. The new law will allow anyone who is legally allowed to own a gun to keep it on his person or in his vehicle.
*******
A big uptick in popularity is the husband and wife duos coming in to equip themselves. Because Maine did have a “shall permit” process, there were already quite a few Mainers with valid concealed carry permits. With the expansion of the law to incorporate all legal gunowners, many spouses are taking their significant other to come in and suit up with a concealed carry pistol or revolver.
“Wednesday is Ladies Day at our indoor shooting range,” Nyer says. “The ladies come in, they don’t have to pay anything to go in there and they can try out firearms in our indoor shooting range, so we’re recognizing that ladies and couples are coming in really interested in the industry and looking for some way to carry.”
*******
Best of all, women seem to take training seriously. According to news sources in Maine, women are signing up in record numbers to gain familiarization with firearms and best practices for safety. It doesn’t get any better than this.
