FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: <\/strong>February 1, 2024<\/p>\n

SENATE REPUBLICANS DELIVER VICTORY ON CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY<\/strong><\/p>\n

COLUMBIA, S.C. \u2014 Once again, Senate Republicans delivered on their promises and passed H. 3594, the South Carolina Constitutional Carry Act. This pro-second amendment legislation expands gun rights for law abiding citizens and cracks down on criminals while making firearms training more accessible for South Carolinians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a huge victory for gun rights in South Carolina,\u201d said Senator Shane Martin, author of the Senate version of the bill. \u201cConstitutional Carry has long been a priority of mine, and now, thanks to united, Republican leadership in the Senate, law-abiding citizens will be able to carry a firearm without asking for permission from the government first.\u201d<\/p>\n

The days-long debate extended late into the evening on Wednesday and culminated in a final vote on Thursday, with a decisive super-majority of senators voting in favor of the bill.<\/p>\n

Senator Wes Climer, Chairman of the Judiciary subcommittee that received testimony on the bill, added: \u201cOnce this bill is signed into law, every law-abiding South Carolinian will be able to carry a firearm anywhere it is legal to do so, without the need for a permission slip from the government. It ranks among the most significant expansions of individual liberty in this State in decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

The people asked, and Republicans listened. With today\u2019s vote, South Carolina is poised to become the 28th state in the Nation where constitutional carry is law of the land.<\/p>\n

The bill returns to the House before heading to the Governor\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n
