summary

This amendment is the majority report of the committee. The amendment eliminates the prohibition on certain persons possessing firearms in state parks and historic sites. The amendment retains provisions in the bill that allow certain persons to possess firearms pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 25, section 2001-A, but removes from that list licensed private investigators performing as private investigators because current law requires them to have a concealed firearms permit. It also removes from the bill provisions allowing certain persons to have a loaded pistol or revolver in a motor vehicle or trailer hauled by a motor vehicle, allowing the possession of concealed firearms on premises serving alcohol and allowing certain persons to carry concealed firearms at the capitol area and other state-controlled areas. The amendment also removes provisions in the bill that amend the laws concerning the carrying of a firearm at the site of a labor dispute.
