Senator Rosen, Representative Warren, distinguished members of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, my name is David Trahan and I am representing the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine testifying Neither For-Nor-Against LD 44, An Act to Lower the Age Requirement to Carry a Concealed Handgun.
Although we believe Maine law should be consistent with our New England neighbors, like New Hampshire who has passed a similar law, we have not polled our entire membership, and given this is a very controversial policy change, we feel it would be inappropriate to take a position until we can do so.
