You're very lucky because Maine requires permits for residents and non-residents to carry concealed weapons.
So if you weren't permitted you should be thankful they didn't press the issue and the reason they didn't press the issue is because
the weapon was in the vehicle and not on you.
trust me when I tell you, they did you a favor.
If you're not going to load it and carry it, why bring it along?
the following Maine Statue is very clear on it's wording regarding "threatening weapons" and Concealed weapons.
that's an entirely different situation. in most cases a person carrys a handgun for personal protection,
How's an empty handgun going to protect you?
If anything, carrying an unloaded handgun could get you shot.
