Oh that’s easy. The Supreme Court has already spoken to this, as have lower courts. Stops for lawful behavior aren’t allowed.
I think Justin Bamberg is a liar. I think this is just a red herring. I think this is the real reason.
“This bill is going to be very problematic for law-enforcement,“ said Representative Justin Bamberg of Bamberg, Barnwell, and Colleton Counties.
Bamberg is a gun-owning supporter of the 2nd Amendment, whose father, brother, and mother all have careers in law enforcement. His father is the current sheriff of Bamberg County.
His peeps aren’t so special any more if other people carry openly. Bamberg is just hawking the law enforcement line.
Ask the other 46 states that have open carry. The sky isn’t falling. It’s all just lies.
And as for the bill, it should be considered the “Open Carry With Infringement Act” since it still requires government approval.

I laughed to myself when the “news” reader said that ’45 states have open carry laws’.
Well, at least in Utah, it’s not that there’s a law, it’s the fact that there no law prohibiting it that makes it legal.
