Effective October 15, 2015, “An Act To Authorize the Carrying of Concealed Handguns without a Permit,” allows a person who is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm to carry a concealed handgun in the State of Maine without a permit. This law also authorizes a person to possess a loaded pistol or revolver while in a motor vehicle, trailer or other vehicle being hauled by a motor vehicle. According to this new law, there is little the police can do about tourist entering AP with firearms concealed or otherwise. However with the ferry dropping off tourists and new comers daily, it has come to the attention of the police it might be warranted to add additional security at the port. It is bothersome it think that not only are people entering the city with guns but also explosions with little or no preventive measures to stop them.
Late Saturday night, Ansuara Oene, a resident in uptown put in a call to the APPD from the seasonal park in front of Anderson’s. She told the police that a man was threating her by waving a knife around and also a hand grenade. Officer Green responded to the call but the suspect, pictured above, fled the scene before she arrived. Oene reported the man seemed extremely confused and unhinged. Oene reported to Officer Green the man shouted something about “Frost” in a threatening matter which could in fact be the subjects name. She also reported the man seemed to have a fascination with nursery rhymes and used them with a threatening tone towards her.
