ME: Disarmist shows lack of Imagination
Maine is moving toward constitutional or permitless carry. It is not a large step for Maine, which has a fairly liberal concealed carry law and constitutional open carry. The bill, LD 652 need only be signed by the Governor to become law, and it seems likely that Governor Le Page will sign it. But that does not stop a Maine disarmist from complaining. From centralmain.com:
“And there is no good I can see in having anyone carry concealed guns
without permits, training, background checks and minimum age
requirements.”
So it all comes down to a lack of imagination on the author's part. I can easily see lots of good. A saving in money and time by thousands of people. An increase in personal freedom and a shrinking of an intrusive state bureaucracy. Numerous innocent people who are no longer subject to arrest, fines, and imprisonment.
Hundreds of women and men who are able to defend themselves against criminal attack, animal attack or who now begin to believe that the Constitution actually means something.
Might there be some harm? Sure, it is possible, but the experience of other States indicate that it will be so small as to be negligible.
