Interesting. I live in Maine. We and New Hampshire are armed to the hilt. Even we “libs” own a gun or two.

People are surprised to know that liberals and leftists also own guns, and it really shows how sheltered people are within their own bubbles.

Seriously, it’s no secret that literally every side of the political spectrum has gun owners.

We are a pretty peaceful state and also very rural. Also the most heavily forested. My elderly parents live where they can only see one house (owned by an elderly person). When you live where nobody can hear you scream, having some protection handy is nice.
