The likes of Luke Rankin and so many RINOs in the Senate are our biggest problem. If they again defeat restoring rights taken long ago, hopefully they will experience loss of their Senate position at long last.

The predictions of “The Wild West” and “blood flowing in the streets” in states that have passed permit less carry just have not come to pass. The people doing almost 100% of the shooting, as well as many of their victims, are already prohibited from even possessing a gun due to prior criminal history.

Yeah, nobody is getting shot for simple altercations at stores or anything.

Your point is pointless. The idiot that did the shooting here, likely could not legally own a gun to begin with due to prior mental or criminal history. This is the case with most such shootings in the Greater Columbia Area, these days. Restoring citizens’ right to carry so they can be on equal footing with criminals is NOT a bad thing.

Our right to keep and bear arms is every man’s and woman’s birth right. Requiring permission from the state to exercise a fundamental right is blatantly unconstitutional.

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.”

Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria.

Word around Kershaw County has it that if Penry G helps block this Constitutional Carry bill as she did the last time, she will be a private citizen after Nov, 2024.

It is our constitutional right to own and carry a firearm in America. All you folks in the Senate should now put on your big boy and ladies’ pants and pass this law!

Sure, you can carry, but, uh, not at any of my events, but, uh, it’s totally not by my request or anything!

Looking forward to the Constitutional Carry bill passing in the SC Senate. I purchased a gun several months ago for the first time due to the increasing violence against older individuals.

please go to a range and fire 300-500 rounds. be proficient with it. be able to load and unload with your eyes closed. rule of 3….most encounters happen 3 yards or less distance, 3 seconds or less, 3 shots or less. my point is….it’s gonna happen close, fast, and you only get a shot or two to neutralize the threat. and above all, if you have small children entering the home, ever. then lock it up, they make quick safes that will unlock with a fingerprint so that you can be ready is need be.
