More On South Carolina Open Carry

Dean Weingarten has a discussion up at Ammoland of South Carolina open carry, something we’ve pushed for years as regular readers know.
There are only five states which currently ban the open carry of handguns in most public areas, most of the time. They are: Illinois, New York, California, Florida, and South Carolina. New Jersey and Hawaii ban open carry in practice, but legally, anyone with a permit can open carry. It is just extremely difficult to obtain a permit.
South Carolina is moving toward restoring the right to openly carry handguns in public with House Bill 3094, labeled “Open Carry with Training”.
They’ve been moving for years, only to get torpedoed by the controllers who appear to control the controllers in South Carolina.
I’ve sent blast emails to every legislator in South Carolina before, but it has limited utility compared to communications a South Carolina resident would send.
To my readers in South Carolina: you’re on top of this, aren’t you? You’re involved, aren’t you? Unless you’re involved, don’t complain when your state looks just like New York.
I can complain when I drive into South Carolina because my rights are not honored, but I don’t live there and they won’t listen to me. They’ll listen to you, maybe, if you speak forcefully enough.
So you can’t complain.
