First off, I just discovered this site and the board. I was aware of the OC movement but it never really sunk in.
I grew up in Maine and, at least in hunting season, I thought nothing of walking through town with my revolver at my side. In the mid 70s I moved to NH and got my concealed carry permit. I was solidly under the impression that concealed carry permitted you to carry a weapon out of sight and concealed was the only way you could carry afirearm (especially a loaded one) in public. In fact I was pretty much paranoid about letting the gun ever become visible - the primary reason for leaving it home a lot of the time.
We returned to Maine a few months ago (midcoast area) and I just got my Maine NR permit changed to resident. (Gee - the state only charged $2 as they considered it just a change of address!)
At this point I'm a bit hesitant about wandering around with my Sig in open viewbut, at the minimum, it's nice to know that I can drop the being paranoid part.
I'll be spending some time looking over the Maine posts here.
