Also, if a driver is stopped by police, that person would not (sic) longer be required to inform officers of the concealed weapon unless specifically asked.
Good on the constitutional carry. Also good on the requirement to tell LEOs you’re carrying. I think that leads to bad relations. LEOs should always assume you’re carrying and be kind and respectful.
Now. Don’t you feel embarrassed, South Carolina? You passed open carry (which of course was a long time coming) but rejected constitutional carry.
What are you waiting for?

Despite opposition from State Police, the Indiana House on Monday voted to eliminate the license to carry a handgun in Indiana.
House Bill 1369 passed the House by a 65-31 vote and now heads to the Senate, where its already picked up key endorsements. Under the legislation, sometimes called “constitutional carry,” certain offenders still could be prohibited from carrying handguns.
The bill would eliminate the license in March 2022. The licenses raise $5.3 million per year to train law enforcement officers, a tab that taxpayers would at least partially have to pick up.
Opponents worry the bill would make police officers and the general public less safe, but advocates say law abiding citizens should not have to pay for a right guaranteed to them by the Constitution.
It’s a trend in free states!
So now it’s teed up for the Senate. Don’t the let state down!
Hey Alabama Senate – the Indiana House approved it just like the Alabama House. It’s clearly supported by the people. Who will be first, the Indiana senate or the Alabama senate?
Hey South Carolina – aren’t you ashamed now that all you could muster in the last session was open carry (which never should have taken this long to undo)? Why not constitutional carry?
