It makes the CWP optional.  This bill is currently being debated in the Senate Judiciary Committee after several statewide hearings.<\/p>\n<p>As you know, Senate Rules are such that we can only consider one contested bill at a time using special order. Even if the Judiciary Committee were to pass s.115, getting another 2nd amendment rights bill on special order in one session would be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>On April 17, Sen. Lee Bright (R-Spartanburg) introduced an amendment to s.308 that contains the language of s.115. We have an opportunity to pass both bills at once!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll support s.308 (Restaurant Carry) either way, but wouldn\u2019t it be great if we could pass it along with the Constitutional Carry included?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The full South Carolina Senate is currently debating a bill that would allow concealed carry in restaurants that serve alcohol (s.308).
