Firearm Registration Forms

Maine does not demand registration of guns procured within or outside of the state for its residents. There is no requirement to get hold of a permit before buying a firearm, and no need for a background check when purchasing in the form of a private sale. Permitless carry allows individuals to carry openly or concealed in acceptable areas. If you wish to utilize reciprocity to travel out-of-state, within the borders of participating states, make available the following to submit to the Maine State Police Special Investigations Unit:

• A completed and executed Maine Application for Permit to Carry Concealed Handguns (Form 1R-Rev 8-15)
