Anti-Second Amendment activists always predict the "wild wild west" and "blood in the streets" when Constitutional Carry is passed in a state. Their predictions never come true and in most cases crime actual goes down.

It is good to see more and more states pass legislation protecting our Second Amendment rights. SC makes #29. Is there a 30th state on the horizon?

BTW, Sheriff Lott needs to be voted out of office. It is obvious he does not support the 2nd Amendment rights of the citizens in his county.

The sheriff must have a very low opinion of South Carolinians.

South Carolina is already the Wild, Wild West.

Thanks to the leftist/woke insanity, so is the rest of America.

American cities are dangerous, overwhelmed by crime and lawlessness. The more leftist/woke, the more dangerous, i.e. the more Wild, Wild West, but, because of leftist/woke influences on the US Federal Government, even sane places like South Carolina have become dangerous.

Obviously anyone in the Wild, Wild West who doesn't arm himself to protect himself and his family is a fool. If people cannot rely on government to protect them, they will protect themselves--and they should.

Well, it’s too late to worry about lawlessness now.

People should have thought about that before defunding the police and instituting *justice reform* and going soft on criminals.

People need to be able to defend themselves and the only ones who have anything to worry about are the criminals.

Too bad for them. Don’t do the crime if you don’t like the consequences.

The Sheriff needs to familiarize himself with the Second Amendment.

The asshole is worried about losing his job. The crime rate in SC will tumble down.

I live in the crime-ridden hellhole state of Idaho that has Constitutional Carry.

I don’t know how much longer I can take it.

The Wild West was nowhere near as lawless as depicted in the movies.

It’s one of the oldest arguments and one of the dumbest. It is the liberal lawmakers who are turning this country into the Wild West with their policies defunding police!

He is a Democrat, so this is the Wild West that he probably means!

There is a family from New Zealand on YouTube who recently posted videos of their first trip to the United States. They said they were very surprised to see few people carrying guns even in Texas. They had been led to believe that in the US people walked around with guns everywhere. And no, they are not anti gun types, just tourists who apparently really like America and wanted to visit.

“I just said a prayer last night that I hope my greatest fears don’t come true, and that’s that South Carolina becomes the Wild, Wild West,” Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told The Post and Courier.

Only place that's ever happened are places where it's illegal. Chicago for example and other urban centers.

***Everytown for Gun Safety’s South Carolina chapter is already predicting the new law will lead to more violence and less safety,***

The screaming fit happens after each State returns to Constitutional law. Yet nothing happens.
