ME: Governor Paul LePage Signs Bill to Protect Tenants' Second Amendment Rights

AUGUSTA — Gov. Paul LePage has a signed into law a bill prohibiting most private landlords who accept public housing vouchers from barring guns in their apartments.

The proposal is backed by the National Rifle Association, which has long fought to strike down gun bans in public housing.
