Constitutional Carry Bills Prefiled in South Carolina
COLUMBIA, S.C. (Dec. 21, 2020) – Two “Constitutional Carry” bills prefiled for the 2021 legislative session would make it legal for South Carolinians to carry a firearm without a license, fostering an environment hostile to federal gun control.
On Dec. 9 Rep. B. Cox (R-Greenville County) and Rep. Jonathan Hill (R-Anderson County) prefiled House Bill 3096 (H2096 ) and House Bill 3039 (H3039) respectively.
Under the proposed laws, anyone who is legally allowed to own a gun could carry it without a state-issued license. Currently, South Carolina gun owners must first attend training through a certified South Carolina CWP instructor before they can get a concealed weapons permit.
