Based on some of the local groups I’m in, I think it’s one shooter that’s going to multiple locations. Taking it with a grain of salt but some posts are implying it’s a veteran of 20 years. Again it’s too early to get solid details.
Since that’s your stomping grounds, what are the gun laws like up there?
Correction, Auburn for the 3rd location
Constitutional Carry is the big one. Unsure of the situation at the bowling alley in terms of concealed. No magazine restrictions, Maine was probably one of the last (other than NH) in terms of pretty lax regulation on gun laws compared to the rest of New England. The Governor (Mills) is unfortunately very left leaning and will probably use this to attempt to backpedal a lot of the the current laws that are pro second amendment. Have a friend that lives 3 miles from the place and said the shooter went to 2 other locations.
Yep, locals called it either “dirty lew” or “little Somali” jokes aside regardless of what it’s nicknamed it doesn’t deserve what happened.
It’s cleaned up a little as of late but it’s been known as a in polite terms high crime area.
I could be wrong but I believe if alcohol is served at the location you couldn’t legally carry. That being said I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a gun free zone either.
That has changed now as long as you are not drinking you can carry concealed.
Oh I completely agree, unfortunately from the sounds of it and as it usually goes the areas were soft targets in a more city landscape rather than rural area. As with most cities (especially in the slowly left leaning state of Maine) You’re less likely to find a good guy with a gun that will do something.
Just goes to show that the idiots who come up with the “laws” clearly don’t understand who the dangerous ones and the safe ones are. If you can’t be trusted to have a gun after a couple of beers, you can’t be trusted with a gun at all. Not necessarily a exact quote but Massad Ayoob.
I'm guessing MSR with coupled 30-round mags based on the super grainy pics so far.

after university i took some criminal justice classes for fun at the local community college (police academy was there along with fire dept training). After class one day some of us were at the bar drinking beers with the instructors (former atf, former swat and police captain, etc) and we were saying something about carry laws.
There are many many people “on their radar” should they be incarcerated or their rights violated in other ways because they are potentially dangerous? Seems unconstitutional, also unwise.
