I live in Maine, and nearly every home here has as many guns as the typical home in the State of Texas.

If that were true, wouldn't your laws look like the ones in Texas?

Which law or laws are your referring to specifically?

Lots of people purchase their firearms in Maine from private parties.....through ads in the newspaper or “pennysaver” type magazines or word of mouth.

If you purchase from a gun shop, you have to fill out the paperwork, of course.

We have conceal carry, and I’ve seen guys walking around
with weapons in holsters. No shortage of gun racks in pickups, either.

Once every several years, some moonbat politician from the Portland (ME) area tries to introduce a bill restricting a gun right, and the bill goes nowhere fast. A majority of the dims in Maine want no part of “gun control,” because they know it’s a no-starter here.
