While Maine does not have magazine restrictions for most firearms; firearms used for hunting are an exception. Auto-loading firearms are restricted to having 5 rounds loaded when the gun is used for hunting. Any shot gun that can hold more than 3 shells is illegal to use for hunting. It is illegal to use any automatic firearm for hunting.
A concealed carry permit is not needed to carry in a vehicle, as long as the firearm is unloaded in plain view, or unloaded in the trunk. More information on concealed carry in Maine is available here.
