Yes he did. In June 2006 Gov. Sanford signed the "Castle Doctrine" self-defense bill and the "Emergency Powers Protection" bill that prevents local governments from confiscating firearms during a state of emergency.

Thanks for the link.

It looks like the "Castle Doctrine" bill is not as strong as Florida's "Stand Your Ground" bill. It sounds like it prevents lawsuits against you if you shoot someone when you are not in a "duty to retreat" situation. We already do not have a "duty to retreat" in a home, an occupied car, or business, etc. But, every little bit helps.
