COMMITTEE AMENDMENT ,A·" to H.P. 988, L.D. 1347 
SUMMARY 
This amendment is the majority report of the committee. The amendment eliminates 
the prohibition on certain persons possessing firearms in state parks and historic sites. 
The amendment retains provisions in the bill that allow certain persons to possess 
firearms pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 25, section 2001-A, but removes 
from that list licensed private investigators performing as private investigators because 
current law requires them to have a concealed firearms permit. It also removes from the 
bill provisions allowing certain persons to have a loaded pistol or revolver in a motor 
vehicle or trailer hauled by a motor vehicle, allowing the possession of concealed 
firearms on premises serving alcohol and allowing certain persons to carry concealed 
firearms at the capitol area and other state-controlled areas. 
The amendment also 
removes provisions in the bill that amend the laws concerning the carrying of a firearm at 
the site of a labor dispute.
