Yes, Maine is an 'Open Carry State'. However, that does not mean that the local police dept -or- sherriff's dept will not detain you, (or simply, harrass you), for carrying a handgun 'cowboy style' down the sidewalk.

If you take the example of the UK (where guns are banned), the normal police on duty on the streets are not armed with guns. There are UK police trained to use and carry guns but they only do so when responding to a situation where a criminal is seen to be armed. Based on this tried example, is is clear that if guns were banned effectively, the police would not need to carry weapons.

Because none of the criminals have weapons. And, maybe they are modeled off of british police, who rarely carry firearms. My 4 year old cousin just received a lego police set, and my aunt tried to remove the weapons, only to find out that there are none.
