i have been carrying for 35 years in MA but am new to maine carry. could anyone tell me if itislegal to leave a loaded handgun in a glove compartment of a locked vehicle.
it is not legal in MA. THANX
i really think that one is up to the officers inerpertation *spelling?* , i have had firearms in my car, on the seat and not had problems, but i've also been removed from my car for having an airsoft pistol on the back seat........i would check with a lawyer for the exact definition of what that one meansDoes anyone know of case law where the court has interpreted what concealed about the person's person means?
For example, in Georgia, the courts have said that a gun in the seat on a car would still be concealed since it is not visible from all outside angles. Fortunately, since last year one does not need a permit to carry a firearm anywhere in his or her car.
i would just unload the weapon before getting into the vehicle, and relaod when you get out to be safe, and a few places to NOT carry openly!.
Portland WILL disarm you, no questions asked, they are dicks!
Auburn/lewiston is just about the same as portland.
Biddeford is liabale to shoot you for OC, they dont even know its legal in biddo, i got taken down at gunpoint and had my weapon seased, searched, detained, brought to county jail........just dont OC in biddo lol
other than that have fun :-D if you look at my older posts, i've taked to saco PD chief and deputy chief, all the sergants, saco is OC friendly if you head this way :-D
they are like portland, they know that OC is perefectly legal, they know they will probably be sued for false arrest or detainment, but they frankly just dont care, odds are they will use force to disarm you, and then detain you for a rediculous amount of time, only to release you without your weapon. some Departments are just horrible. Should be good in dexter though :-Djay75009 wrote:

thanks for the advice! I might go to Lewiston, but most of my time will be in Dexter. does Lewiston have a city ordnance against it, or are the cops just stupid??
They may have a city ordinance, but it would be illegal. Maine has full state preemption.jay75009 wrote:
