Governor Signs Bill Limiting Youth Access to Guns

Maine Governor John Baldacci has signed into law a bill that tightens regulations on purchases of guns by youth.

Cathy Crowley, featured in "There Ought to Be A Law," campaigned for such a law. In its original version, Cathy's bill would have required a waiting period before young people under 22 could buy a shotgun or rifle. The bill was defeated in 2005 and 2007.

The amended version that passed the Maine Legislature in 2008 prohibits the sale of firearms to 16- and 17-year-olds unless they have parental permission. Violations can lead to a fine of up to $500.

The measure was introduced by Rep. Stan Gerzofsky (D-Brunswick). The law will take effect in July.
