ALL Maine Post Participants:
Does Maine Law 2001-A(1)(A), Chapter 252, Part 5, of Title 25 Invalidate Open Carry?
1. Display or Carrying Prohibited. A Person may NOT, unless Excepted by a Provision of Law:
A. Display in a Threatening Manner a Firearm..., Usually Employed in The Attack on or Defense of a Person;
[2003, c. 452, Pt. N, §2 (NEW); 2003, c. 452, Pt. X, §2 (AFF).]
Therefore, it seems as if Open Carry is ILLEGAL in Maine, because someone could Construe The Act as either: Terrorizing 17-A 210 [ 2001, c. 383, §11 (RP); 2001, c. 383, §156 (AFF) .], OR
Reckless Conduct 17-A 211 [ 1975, c. 499, §1 (NEW) .]
under Chapter 9, Part 2, of Title 17-A of Maine Code.
Is there any Case Law in Maine about Open Carry that would InValidate these Concerns?
