In 2014, he voted against S.308, which Haley signed in law, allowing a Concealed Weapons Permit holder to carry firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol, while preserving the restaurant owner’s right to ban individuals carrying firearms in their establishment.

Current S.C. state law prohibits permitted individuals from carrying a weapon in a church (S.C. Code Ann § 21-31-215).

Is it too much to wonder if a South Carolinian can carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol but not in a church if that might be at the insistence of those same Black ministers? (If Roof needed to change mags frequently for a 1911, couldn't a congregation member with a high-capacity firearm have stopped his rampage?)

YES!

Probably could have stopped it with a well placed shot from a single-shot pistol.
