I have received yes and no answers to this question.
Is my Pa. concealed carry permit good in the state of Maine?

Maine has Constitutional Carry - so no permit/license is required(except certain places where a license/permit is required - like certain parks).

Formal reciprocity was dropped. So your LTCF is not valid in the places below.

http://maine.gov/dps/msp/licenses/weapons_permits.html

There will be some circumstances in which an optional handgun permit will authorize the permittee to carry in certain locations or during an activity when an unpermitted person could not:

Acadia National Park (Maine Permit required; 12 M.R.S. §756) NOTE: Pursuant to 25 M.R.S. 2001-A (2)(F), Maine will recognize a concealed handgun permit issued by another state to its resident if that state recognizes Maine’s resident concealed handgun permits. A resident permit from that state is valid for concealed carry of a handgun within Acadia National Park
State Parks (Permit required; open carry not permitted; 12 M.R.S. § 1803(7))
Regular archery hunting-deer only (Permit required; 12 MRS § 11403)
Employees’ vehicles on work premises (Permit required; vehicle must be locked and firearm must not be visible; 26 M.R.S. §600)

AFAIK, Maine is constitutional carry. You don't need a permit to carry in Maine, except for the state and federal parks. So unless you're going to a state/federal park you should be gtg.

My son Just called Maine state police.
For any one going to Maine with a Pa. concealed carry permit.
The answer is a big NO.

You dont need a permit in Maine, except in certain state/federal parks. So, unless you are going to a state/federal park, the answer is YES.

The fact that PA and ME do not have a reciprocity agreement does not negate the fact that no license is required in Maine(except in those certain locations).
