Join us for an open, educational conversation about Question 2 on Maine’s November ballot. This is a chance for neighbors to ask questions of one another, hear one another, make their points, and learn.

"Extreme Risk Protection Orders to Restrict Firearms and Weapons Access Initiative"

"Do you want to allow courts to temporarily prohibit a person from having dangerous weapons if law enforcement, family, or household members show that the person poses a significant danger of causing physical injury to themselves or others?"

While the discussion is organized by David Trahan of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine and will include Lt. Michael Johnston of the Maine State Police—both of whom take a position on Question 2—everyone is encouraged to attend, argue for a different position, and engage with one another with respect and passion.

Open House of History hosts issue-based forums on timely and contentious topics, led by individuals who may take strong positions but are not speaking on behalf of a political party or broad ideological organization.
