CWP and the State of Maine

Now here is a modern approach to concealed weapons permits (CWP).

In the State of Maine, the town of Kennebunk (in the news recently for another reason) posts complete information on its website regarding applications for a concealed weapons permit.

That information includes this paragraph: "Per Maine State law, a gun safety course must be taken prior to receiving a CWP. If you are renewing a CWP that was issued prior to April 15, 1990, you are exempt from this requirement. As well, individuals with prior military service are also exempt; however, a copy of a DD214 must be supplied."

And the fee: a whole $35.00.

Imagine that!!!
