ME gun

mayo 2022

With help from the Giffords Law Center, we revised three questions in our Maine State Gun Laws section to clarify that:

  • The prohibition against a respondent having a firearm when a final PFA is in place only refers to situations where the victim is 1) a current or former spouse; 2) someone s/he has a child in common with; or 3) someone who s/he currently lives with or used to live with. It does not cover other dating partners.
  • Possession of a firearm is illegal based on convictions for certain crimes; previously, we indicated that conviction for those crimes meant that the offender could not get a firearm permit.

Changes were made in English and Spanish.
