S.C. is pretty anti-gun isn't it?

"Honey, why did you buy that M1A?"


"Because you never can tell when you'll have to fight a rabid bobcat."


Hey, I've used lamer excuses to buy guns.

Blair recommends people call animal control if an animal acts strangely or aggressively.

Another turf protector. Refuses to give the most sensible advice out there...shoot the damn things!

In Massachusetts you need a firearms permit for pepper spray. I have had one for 10 years just to take with me when I walk my dog.

Someone wiser than me suggested wasp killer,which I'm going to get----no permit needed.

Not really, We have "Shall Issue" CWP, no waiting periods, instant background check, no limits on the amount of guns you can buy, no local governments can enact their own anti-gun laws, no AWB, no "duty to retreat" on your own property, etc.

I'd be afraid if one of these came after me, too. It might explode!

Thankfully, there aren't too many of those left on the streets. Their pimps can be pretty nasty, though. :^)

They're the only southern state that doesn't honor or reciprocate with Florida on CCW permit holders.

Most dept stores and malls ban your CCW rights.

S.C. won't issue out of state permits.

S.C bans CCW at churches, hospitals, doctor's etc.

CCW in private residences is prohibited without expressed permission by the legal owner.

Even restaurants are banned is they serve one alcholic drink.

ETC.

Pretty anti-gun to me.

There's no way I want to be sprayed in the face with wasp killer -- but I do believe the active ingredient is (supposedly) harmless to mammals.

It may not be a reliable personal defense weapon.
