470.0. "Maine Laws" by IOENG::TESTAGROSSA (dtn 297-7581) Fri Sep 15 1989 16:37

    What does Maine law require for a person to carry a sidearm during
    deer season? Does anyone know? How about transporting pistols in
    the state?

    	The Maine deer hunting laws restrict you to 5 rounds unless
    you are licensed to carry concealed.

    Barry, you just need to apply via the Maine State Police for a permit
    to carry concealed.  If you are not carrying concealed you don't need a
    permit.  BTW, to apply just contact the state police and they will send
    you a packet of forms.  You just need pictures, about $45, the forms
    and copies of any valid permits to carry you hold in other states.
    
    I found them to be very cooperative and helpful.  Whole process took
    about 4 weeks.

    Tom, if I'm carrying in a holster while hunting, is that considered
    concealed?

    That is all I'm really interested in doing.

         If the holster is visible its not considered concealed.

    A couple of friends and myself are planning a fishing trip into
    some remote parts of Maine and I was wondering what the law is
    concerning carrying while fishing. I can comfortably carry my
    sidearm in a shoulder holster so leaving it unconcealed is no
    problem. Also if we decide to stop in a restaraunt and I leave the gun
    in the car could I get into trouble like here in Mass?
    Thanks in advance for any help or advice.....

                You can carry it any where except on school property.
    Concealed if you have a valid Maine permit, otherwise it must be in
    sight. You can leave it your car but I wouldn't leave it in view for
    someone to take. I would stick it under the seat and break the law of
    concealing it.

          I was reading some changes in the Maine Sportsman this weekend
    with one change being the distance of hunting from a paved highway.
    The new law stated that you must be 10' from the highway or out of the
    right of way on a controlled access highway (Interstate).
