PORTLAND — A local college student and gun owner is planning an event aimed at showing there is no harm in doing what state law says is perfectly legal -- wearing a holstered firearm in public.

Shane Belanger, a University of Southern Maine freshman who grew up in Caribou, is organizing the "open-carry" event for Sunday, April 25, at Portland's Back Cove.
At least 20 gun owners are expected to show up with their holstered weapons, Belanger said.
"I'm assuming most of the people will be carrying loaded weapons, but it's not a requirement," he said.
