A federal judge is denying the Maine attorney general's request to temporarily reinstate the law that requires consumers to wait three days before buying a gun. A federal judge put the law on hold last month following a gun rights group request.

Walker also rejected AG Frey’s claim that there would be Irreparable Injury without the three day waiting period. He favored the claims of the gun rights supporters, saying the three day waiting period was likely unconstitutional, an infringement of the Second Amendment and not consistent with tradition.
