On April 6,Breitbart News reported that the South Carolina House passed permitless carry legislationsponsored by stateRep. Mike Pitts (R-14). That legislation,which would abolish the need for concealed carry permits, is now with the Senate.
Pitts bill would recognize South Carolinians right to carry a handgun openly or concealed without a permit for self-defense.The Post and Courierquoted Pitts saying, This bill is a very simple bill. It means, by definition of the Constitution, it gives you the ability to keep and bear arms without having to be permitted by the country.
Governor McMaster concurs.According to The Charlotte Observer, McMasters spokesman, Brian Symmes, said, Governor McMaster appreciates the Houses hard work on this bill, believes it is constitutional and will sign it if it reaches his desk.
There are currently12 states that require no permit for exercising the Second Amendment right to bear arms: Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, and West Virginia. And permitless carry is the law of the land in99.4 percentof Arkansas and Montana.
