I found that House Speaker's email addresses, have at it with messages. I pointed out neighboring VT and NH do not lose tourist money over allowing guns almost everywhere outdoors, Wetern states like MT, ID, WY, OR, WA, etc., won't lose any tourist money over it, you'll spend tourist moneye lsewhere, etc. (since their flimsy excuse is it might scare off tourists).

I found her two email addresses, as follows:

hannah@pingree.com

RepHannah.Pingree@legislature.maine.gov

Got it from: http://www.maine.gov/legis/house/hsebios/pingh_.htm

“It is important to the tourism industry, and it is important to families for people to feel safe.."

Right... who gives a sh#t about the people's safety who actually live there?? F*ckin yuppies make me sick. Another reason why I left that state.

That will be a sad day if that passes..

considering the vast expanse, and isolated areas of these trails, sooner or later the criminal element will figure out what easy pickings unarmed hikers, picknickers, site seerers, can be. criminals will ignore any ban in place, any ban in place will leave the public completely vunerable. what are they thinking?
