MAINE (1):  Legislature Defends Maine's Hunting Heritage!  On Wednesday, May 23, the Maine House of Representatives voted 82-60 to uphold an "ought not to pass" recommendation for Legislative Document 1635, "An Act To Prohibit Recreational Bear Trapping."  LD 1635 would have abolished the open season on trapping bears. Bear trapping has been a long-standing method of bear hunting in Maine.  In fact, the bear management program is based upon the use of this form of hunting in order to maintain a healthy bear population in Maine.  Please contact your State Senator today at (207) 287-1583 and your State Representative at (207) 287-1400 to thank them for accepting the "ought not to pass" committee report for LD1635.

MAINE (2):  Waiting Period Bill Defeated in Maine!  Legislative Document 361, legislation that would have mandated a 10-day waiting period for certain individuals who purchase firearms in Maine, was defeated this week.  Please contact your State Representative at (207) 287-4469 and your State Senator at (207) 287-1540 to thank them for preserving your Second Amendment rights.
