How do you know it was a gun free zone?
Maine's gun laws means owners can carry a weapon without a permit - as the city experiences its second mass shooting in months.
Currently, Maine operates under a 'Concealed Carry' law, which came into force in 2015 and allows a gun owner to carry a concealed without need to apply for a permit.
Here....the first gun free zone attacked...
Under Maine law, establishments in which alcohol is served must post signage banning the carrying of firearms if they want to prohibit them, though consuming alcohol while carrying is illegal regardless of whether the premises are posted.

A citizen journalist and member of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, Matthew Strasser, was the first to spot a small sign in a picture of Just-in-Time’s front entrance that was posted online in 2021. As the Crime Prevention Research Center reports:
“We kindly ask that you refrain from bringing firearms in this building and we would appreciate it if you left them in your vehicle. Please keep our atmosphere family friendly.” [Name redacted]
