In the SC 2019 session H 3457, the Constitutional Carry Act of 2019 has now been introduced by Representative Jonathon Hill.
John Perna spoke at SC State House, at a hearing on the Constitutional Carry Act of 2013. Constitutional Carry means that, within a given jurisdiction, carrying of firearms is not restricted by law. When a state or other jurisdiction has adopted Constitutional Carry, it is legal for law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun, firearm, or other weapon without a permit or license. The scope and applicability of such laws or proposed legislation can vary from state to state.
Legislation was introduced in South Carolina in early 2012 to allow constitutional carry. Currently South Carolina issues concealed carry weapons on a shall-issue basis and open carry is illegal.
Rep. Jonathon Hill of Anderson, SC is a great patriot.
Rep. Jonathon Hill has filed H3456 : The South Carolina Constitutional Carry Act of 2019, a bill that would make South Carolina a state which reasserts the legal Constitutional or permit-less right to keep and bear arms. At this time several states already allow residents to carry a firearm without a permit. States that comply with Second Amendment currently include: Alaska. Arizona. Arkansas, Idaho (residents only), Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota (residents only; concealed carry only), Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming (residents only).
Rep. Hill asserts that The Second Amendment already promises that “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. We should not be required to obtain a permit to exercise a right. The Second Amendment is our permit.
If we have to obtain a permit to exercise one right what is to prevent government from requiring “permission” for the exercise of all of our other “rights”? What will stop government from requiring “permission” to speak, or to exercise freedom of religion, or to be free from warrantless searches and seizures? There is no end to this slippery slope.
SC State Senator Shane Martin is another great patriot of Spartenburg, SC. You will hear Senator Martin comment in this video (during a previous hearing).
Free people can be armed. Slaves and prisoners can never be armed. EVERY SLAVE MASTER, AND EVERY TYRANT, ALWAYS DISARMS HIS VICTIMS. If a government does not trust its people to be armed, the people cannot trust their government. The famous “shot heard around the world” was fired when the British tried to take away the guns. The stark reality is that once the people have been disarmed all resistance will be a risk of death. The right to defend yourself is your right to life. Anyone who tries to take your right to defend yourself is trying to take away your right to life. Whatever you have a right to do, in defense of your life, you have a right to do in defense of your right to keep and bear arms.
