On Tuesday, January 30th, the South Carolina state Senate Judiciary Committee will be hearing Senate Bill 449 to enact constitutional carry. Please contact committee members today and urge them to SUPPORT this legislation. Click the “Take Action" button below to contact committee members.
Sponsored by Senator Shane Martin (R-13), S. 449 would allow law-abiding adults to legally carry a firearm without first needing to obtain a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP). Self-defense situations are difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate. Accordingly, a law-abiding adult’s right to defend themselves in such situations should not be conditioned by government-mandated time delays and taxes. The CWP will still be available for those who wish to take advantage of reciprocity agreements when traveling to other states.
S. 449 would eliminate these government mandates and allow individuals to carry in a manner that best suits their needs. Further, twelve states currently have similar Right to Carry laws which allow law-abiding individuals to possess a concealed firearm for self-defense without a permit.
Again, please click the “Take Action” button above to contact committee members and urge them to support this S. 449. In addition, if you would like to attend the hearing, details may be found here and below.
