Bill History - H. 4243

A chronological history of GrassRoots activities concerning H. 4243

H. 4243: A bill to exempt legislators from all bans on CWP carry anywhere in the state.
Principles Involved: “All men are created equal.” Unfortunately, this is not a self evident truth to our SC legislators. The laws should apply equally to all gun owners. Legislators are not morally superior to the rest of us. Every citizen should be able to carry a firearm for lawful purposes anywhere they choose.
GrassRoots Position: GrassRoots strongly opposes this bill.
Current Status: In House Judiciary committee.
Primary Sponsor: Kelly
