Lawmakers have introduced a number of permitless carry bills that would dismantle South Carolina's concealed weapon permitting system, allowing people to carry loaded handguns in public without a permit or firearm safety training. These are dangerous bills that would put lives at risk.
Send an urgent message to SC lawmakers telling them to oppose any permitless carry bills.
Dear Lawmakers,
As your constituent, I urge you to oppose any bills that would dismantle South Carolina's current concealed weapon permitting system, allowing people to carry loaded handguns in public without a permit or firearm safety training.
76 percent of South Carolina voters oppose allowing people to carry a loaded handgun in public without a permit or safety training, and I urge you to oppose it as well. Since Arizona enacted permitless carry legislation in 2010, the rate of aggravated assaults committed with a firearm in the state increased by 39 percent by 2017.
Dismantling our current permitting system will not keep our communities safer. I urge you to vote NO on any permitless carry bills.
Thank you.
