NightSide - No More Gun Permits Needed In Maine

BOSTON (CBS) - A new gun law went into effect in Maine yesterday, but not everyone is on board. Residents are now allowed to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, as long as they aren't legally prohibited from owning a gun. There is no safety class, training, or certification required, which has some state officials concerned over the new law. At a time where the national conversation seems to be moving the other direction, are you surprised by this law? Do you think it's a good idea?
