South Carolina: Right-to-Carry Reform Bill Introduced
« on: January 14, 2011, 06:08:01 PM »
Good luck to the folks in SC.....maybe they can get something good done for CCW and then maybe we can get reciprocity between SC and GA (the only state in the southeast I can't CCW in).

South Carolina: Right-to-Carry Reform Bill Introduced in Columbia!
 Friday, January 14, 2011
 
The 119th South Carolina General Assembly began its session this week, and on Wednesday, Jan. 12, State Representative Mike Pitts (R-14) introduced H. 3292, a comprehensive Right-to-Carry reform bill.

Joining Rep. Pitts as cosponsors are Representatives Dan Cooper (R-10) and Greg Delleney, Jr. (R-43).  H. 3292 seeks to reform current law to remove certain restrictions on where one may lawfully carry a concealed firearm, establish that property owners may not set policies or rules that would prohibit the transportation or storage of legally-possessed firearms or ammunition if it is locked, out of sight, within a privately-owned motor vehicle, and create a straight recognition standard for valid permits issued by other states.

We will be giving a more detailed analysis of this legislation, as well as report on other firearm-related bills, in the near future.  In the meantime, please take a moment to call your State Representative and urge him or her to cosponsor H. 3292.

South Cadillacky, has always been an odd state in regards to transportation, reciprocity, and CC. Hopefully, they will make it uniform and a little easier to understand.

Never understood, as my FL CCW is good through SC, but you GA, folks must have done something,..... ::)
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Most folks that have been around a while in this country have Appalachian roots, no?   ;)

Nope:  Low Country heritage.  No hills for us.   Swamps and rivers.  Beaufort river, Savannah River, Ogeechee River and Detroit River, which is South of the United States, so my dad claims he's a southerner, too.

I don't want to hijack this thread, and I do think we need to pass every bill that comes up that supports our Constitutional guarantees.  However, we need to quit fighting for concealed legislature.  We need to fight for carry legislation.

Wise people will conceal most of the time, but there are times where open carry is appropriate, and by removing the words conceal and concealed we do away with any concerns surrounding flashing* during the normal course of activities.

* Flashing - The disclosure of a firearm, or the accidental showing of a carried firearm.

Now, back on topic:

I am for property rights, but there needs to be consistency in those rights.  If the owner of a business must meet certain standards for the handicapped, if they can not allow smoking, if they can not exercise their beliefs in hiring and firing, they must not be allowed to deny Constitutionally protected Rights.  Any business that falls under the regulation of the thousands of federal, state and local regulations designed to protect from discrimination must also allow the full exercise of Constitutional activities that do not conflict with the purpose of their business (a Christian, Catholic or Jewish book store could reasonably restrict Free Speech by not allowing Muslim proselytizing.
