Maine? Why do you mention Maine? True, it’s a welfare state, but we have a TEA party guy as governor and, with a third party candidate in the race, he has an even chance of being re-elected.
Our gun rights in Maine, a mostly rural state, are as stong as those in Texas, except we have open carry. In the Second Amendment arena, Maine is nothing like California or New York (thankfully).
As I understand it, Maine has one built-in defense against Obamunists. Any stupid POS that lives there expecting others to tend to them probably won’t survive the first winter...
