Any time a legislator uses the word "I" ("I'm offended by that...), I wonder what the legislator's constituents think? Does the legislator even care? How much better would it be if the legislator said, "I have put this to my constituents and they feel offended by this bill."

The legislator's thoughts are beside the point. He/she was elected to represent his/her constituents.

It'd be good if they just recognized neighboring states' permits. As an Alabama resident, I am completely barred from carrying on my person in SC. (Vehicle compartment carry is legal for anyone in SC.)
