I don't know about Maines law but here in Wi. you can not use a handgun to hunt with till you are 18, you can not own one till you are 21,my son wants to be an armed guard,he is not 21 yet,so I have to buy his gun so he carry it,sound stupid,but that is the law.
I certainly agree this policy is stupid! I bought my first handgun, a Ruger Single Six, at age 17 in 1956, and it was completely legal!
