What’s Going On With South Carolina Gun Laws?

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCIV) — A bill making its way through the Statehouse could put more guns on the streets of South Carolina.
Rep. Wendell Gilliard said Friday he believes it’s a mistake to pass a bill that would open South Carolina borders to concealed carry permits from other states. He added, it would give almost anyone the ability to walk into South Carolina with a gun.
“Everybody wants the right to carry a gun and that’s dangerous in a free society,” Gilliard said. “We should not allow that.”
Part of this bill also amends current legislation; It no longer requires South Carolinians to get a concealed carry permit to carry in public.
What? I think I’ve got the issue of reciprocity. South Carolina has always had an issue with that, but this bill seems to go farther. Is this bill headed towards constitutional carry?
Can someone who is familiar with the awful machinations of South Carolina politics tell us what is going on? And why doesn’t this bill include open carry? My God! How long is South Carolina going to be the national outlier on this issue?

Apparently, on the evening of April 28th 2016 the citizens of a free Christian republic went to sleep and woke on the 29th in South Soviet Carolina. Y’all better do something about this before it’s too late.

That tells me all I need to know about Wendell Gilliard. Let me rephrase this a couple ways to make it clearer that he’s a statist authoritarian:
– “Everybody has the right to carry a gun and that’s dangerous in a free society. We should not allow that.”
– “Everybody has the right to speak their mind in public and that’s dangerous in a free society. We should not allow that.”
– “Everybody has the right to vote and that’s dangerous in a free society. We should not allow that.”
Tar. Feathers. Apply liberally as needed.
