Title 25: INTERNAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY
Part 5: PUBLIC SAFETY
Chapter 252-A: FIREARMS REGULATION HEADING: PL 1989, C. 359 (NEW)
§2011. State preemption

1. Preemption. The State intends to occupy and preempt the entire field of legislation concerning the regulation of firearms, components, ammunition and supplies. Except as provided in subsection 3, any existing or future order, ordinance, rule or regulation in this field of any political subdivision of the State is void.
[ 1989, c. 359, (NEW) .]
2. Regulation restricted. Except as provided in subsection 3, no political subdivision of the State, including, but not limited to, municipalities, counties, townships and village corporations, may adopt any order, ordinance, rule or regulation concerning the sale, purchase, purchase delay, transfer, ownership, use, possession, bearing, transportation, licensing, permitting, registration, taxation or any other matter pertaining to firearms, components, ammunition or supplies.

This statute was enacted in 1989 and the Portland PD is still training their officers with very bad information?

The abuses of the Portland PD and their disregard for the laws of the State of Maine have been documented for the last 5 years. What makes you think they'll change any time soon?

Send a plaintiff request to the ACLU of Maine via certified mail and send copy of such request to every media outlet in the State of Maine; print, paper, radio and Boob Tube.

This sounds good. But the ACLU is well known as anti-gun. If it were a 1st amendment cause they'dbe all over it. The ACLU's position is and always has been that the 2A is a collective not individuals right. The fact that this has to do with PDs not following law will make little difference, once they realize it hasto do with firearms. YMMV
