COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina House member is filing a bill to allow residents to carry weapons without a permit.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Cooper of Piedmont said Tuesday he has filed legislation to allow any law-abiding citizen to carry a weapon.
The Republican says concealed weapons permit laws and other restrictions make it less likely people who obey the law will be armed and does nothing to disarm people willing to break the law.
Tuesday is the first day House members can file new bills for the legislative session that starts Jan. 13.

Wow a politician that has common sense a rare commodity indeed. Here in the "Peoples Republic of Massachusetts" the laws are so arbitrary and convoluted that the police officers don't even understand them.

I think this is outstanding! I would expect nothing less from the first state to secede from the union, no offense to our northern friends. Anyways, Mr. Cooper is on to something here. In the words of Ted Nugent; "Our second ammendment rights is our concealed carry permit." Case Closed!

One problem this could cause is withreciprocity. South Carolinians without a permitwill not be able tocarry ina neighboring state. Some states may revoke reciprocity agreements with us based on this.
