Maine State Police Lt. David Bowler calls this “permit shopping” and said it’s the reason the Department of Public Safety has submitted a bill that prohibits Maine from granting a nonresident concealed weapons permit to anyone who has been denied a permit in another state with equivalent or less restrictive laws.

I don't have a problem with it. It's virtually unenforceable, however.

Depends what the denial was for.

Yes
No
