After nearly six full days of debate, South Carolina’s Senate approved a Constitutional Carry bill on Thursday by a vote of 28-15, removing the last major hurdle for the state to become the 28th in the nation to recognize the right to bear arms without the need for a government-issued permission slip. The bill, which was already approved by the House last year, still needs to return to the lower chamber for a final concurrence vote since the Senate did amend the legislation before giving it their stamp of approval.
The amendment would allow people 18 and older to carry a gun without a permit but would also offer free, training twice a month in every county that is overseen by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. It would also add an extra penalty for people who don’t have their Concealed Weapon Permit if they carry a gun where doing so is prohibited and create a statewide campaign to inform people of those increased penalities.
