From the NRA:
Wrapping up the Maine 2007 Legislative Session, Governor John Baldacci (D) signed two pro-Second Amendment measures into law, both introduced by State Representative Rich Cebra (R-101). LD 148, “An Act To Provide Fairness in Concealed Weapon Reciprocity Agreements,” directs the Commissioner of Public Safety to work in cooperation with the Attorney General to conduct a comprehensive review of other states’ concealed weapon laws for the purpose of identifying and seeking other states with which Maine may enter into concealed weapon reciprocity agreements. The Commissioner of Public Safety shall report findings and progress to the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety no later than January 1, 2008. Upon receipt of the report, the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety may submit necessary legislation to the Second Regular Session of the 123rd Legislature.
This bill will allow Maine to establish reciprocity with any willing state.

Reading the bill, no it does not.
What it does say is that the Maine AG along with the State Police must review other states so that enabling legislation may be passed in the second session. Reciprocity is not the law yet in Maine.

Maine has had a reciprocity provision on the books for years now. They are allowed to enter into agreements with 2 states. Wierd huh. They checked with Vermont and New Hampshire, both states did not qualify for reciprocity. Vermont because they have no permit and New Hampshire does not have training requirements. They never bothered to check with other states.
Hopefully a new law next year will fix this.

Reciprocity with ME would be great for me. They should recognize TN permits (TN all ready recognizes ME.)
