South Carolina has been attempting to pass permitted open carry for a while.

The major obstacle is the Senate Republican leadership.

I wish they honored my Utah carry or my PA carry permit. Every time I go to SC I have to be unarmed just like when I’m in NJ.

Sorry for the misogyny...but the woman in the picture turns me on.

Just something about a woman carrying a gun...

I live in SC. I have become a fan of conceal carry, I wasn’t at first. I can go along with open carry as long as they keep conceal carry. I like the idea of one not being sure who is carrying and who isn’t.

I’m a part-time resident of SC, but this is another good reason to move from The Peoples Republic of IL.

New Jersey and Hawaii ban open carry in practice, but legally, anyone with a permit can open carry. It is just extremely difficult to obtain a permit.

Extremely difficult should read nearly impossible. The unconnected in New Jersey have near zero chance of obtaining a permit. You must prove a need to carry, and the proof is never sufficient.

What do they fail to comprehend about "shall not be infringed" anyway?

Excellent. Since I live just over the border and the gun range I always go to is in South Carolina, it always struck me as strange that they don’t allow open carry. Fortunately they have CC reciprocity with North Carolina.
