well keep waiting....still has to go back to the house, then hopefully no issues...then committee as i understand it...then the governor's desk. there is already a thread on s308 in the SC section.
now all we need to do is get s115 ( constitutional carry ) passed and i'll be the happiest gun owner in the state. it will be a tough road though.
It will be but at least our Governor is on-board and has announced her support of Constitutional Carry.
**** WARNING SOAPBOX ****
SC was not a pro-gun state; don't know how people ever got the impression SC was pro-2A.
If you weren't connected, law enforcement, or Caucasian, SC was very anti-2A.
Wonder if there is a link to the fact that SC had all Democratic Governors from 1876 to 1975.
South Carolina has come a long way in the last 18 years when it comes to every South Carolinian rights (guns/defense).
Personally I believe it is due to the removal of many Democrats and RINOs like Jake Knotts.
***** from 1876 to 1994 Democrat controlled State Assembly (both Houses) *****
Gov. Beasley (R) in 1996 repealed the SC "may issue" and signed into law "shall issue".
***** Democrat Governor until Stanford *****
Gov. Stanford (R) in 2004 repealed the 1 handgun per month law
Gov. Stanford (R) in 2006 passed the "Castle Doctrine" and "Stand your Ground"
Gov. Haley (R) in 2012 repealed melting point law, pistol dealer state permits/bonds, contiguous state long gun purchases
Gov. Haley (R) in 2014 passed Restaurant Carry

sorry typing on my tablet autocorrected...fixed
you're forgiven.
Just to recap S308:
CWP holders get to CC in restaurants that serve alcohol for consumption, unless the your are not welcome sign is posted.
CWP is extended to 5 years.
CWP holders get to stow a weapon under their car seat or in an open or closed compartment on the passenger side.
I don't like this section though, In a station wagon, van, hatchback vehicle, truck, or sport utility vehicle, the term 'luggage compartment' refers to the area behind the rearmost seat." My truck has a flip down rear seat, no way in heck can I stow my weapon behind that seat.
Am I missing anything?
