South Carolina: Hearing for Important Carry Bills Canceled

South Carolina: Hearing for Important Carry Bills Canceled

Today's Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing for both H. 3025 and H. 3799 was canceled.  Please stay tuned to www.nraila.org and your email inbox for updated committee hearing information.  Thank you to those who arrived for the hearing, and also thank you to those who reached out to the subcommittee members in support of H. 3025 and H. 3799.  Please continue to contact the members of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee in support of H. 3025 and H. 3799.  Please click the “Take Action” button below to contact the subcommittee members!

As previously reported, H. 3025 was introduced by state Representative Alan Clemmons (R-107) with the intention of passing a true Right-to-Carry recognition bill, which would ensure that South Carolina recognizes ALL valid Right-to-Carry permits issued by other states.  After facing opposition from both the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and the South Carolina Sheriffs’ Association (SCSA), H. 3025 was amended to become a Permitless Carry bill.  H. 3025 would allow any law-abiding citizen who may lawfully possess a handgun to carry a handgun for personal protection, without the need to first acquire a permit.  This bill passed the House of Representatives with a strong, bipartisan majority.

H. 3799 was introduced by state Representative Bill Hixon (R-83), and would expand recognition of Right-to-Carry permits to Georgia.

Again, please click the “Take Action” button above to contact members of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee and politely urge them to support NRA’s efforts to advance our Right to Keep and Bear Arms in the Palmetto State.
