Maine: Gun Stores Being Shut Down

Thursday, March 26, 2020

Our Second Amendment rights are being threatened. Governor Mills needs to hear from you now!

In response to COVID-19, Governor Mills issued an executive order that required all non-essential businesses to close their physical locations that allow “in-person” contact until April 8^th. Today, Kittery Trading Post – a gun store – was shut down as a non-essential business!

Please act now and call on Governor Mills to correct this egregious error and make firearm dealers essential businesses. It is extremely unfortunate that in these uncertain times, an elected official would limit the ability of law-abiding citizens to exercise our inherent right to self-defense. Firearm dealers are essential to exercising this right!

Please call Governor Janet Mills’ office at 207-287-3531 and request that firearm dealers are designated an essential business!
