NC and NH allow it too. I am a CCW holder, rarely use it. I'm not sure if its such a good idea.

I love my guns as well as anyone but with folks so edgy, impatient, stressed out, maybe not such a good idea for everybody to carry a gun, especially out in restaurants.....like that ex-cop that shot/killed that fellow in the movies about a week ago.....more guns, more killing!...

No, more guns does not equate more killing, if we are to look at the statistics over the last 40 years, gun violence has actually went down in relation to the amount of guns owned, currently guns are at an all time high for sales and statistics show, that we are at a level that is comparable to the late 60's in terms of those injured or killed by guns. Lets not get to political guys.

Re: SC CWP law allows CC in restaurant and bars.

The idea of concealed carry permit is just that concealed. There are lots and lots of folks these days carrying guns most everywhere. Just because you don't see them or hear about them proves the concealed carry works. My entire family all owns CCPs and we all carry without one issue. If you advertise that you are carrying, then the surprise element is lost. So the true fact that more people today are carrying guns everywhere then any time in history and the general public doesn't even know it, proves it does work. You don't see additional shootings and such as they predicted. Decent folks are also common sense folk that can control their emotions too. So much for trigger-happy predictions!

Re: SC CWP law allows CC in restaurant and bars.

Back in the Wild Wild West days, you had to turn your weapon over to the Sheriff before entering the town. Too much drinkin, shootin and killin... Ie if you don't learn from the mistakes in history, you are bound to repeat them. I really don't think alcohol/rednecks and gun combo will have a happy ending for many haha

Re: SC CWP law allows CC in restaurant and bars.

When Ohio passed their ccw law there were predictions of blood in the streets and shootouts. Never happened.

Similarly when they allowed carry in restaurants and bars the same predictions were made. Years after that had passed it still hasn't happened.

I don't worry too much about it. Most folks that carry, are pretty level headed. I think it was a good addition to the law. Went should you have to disarm just because you want to walk into a establishment that has a class D.

We don't allow drinking while carrying in Ohio, however many states do. Must treat it just as driving. If your under the legal limit, you're OK. Even in those states the reports of incidents just aren't there to back up people's claims against it.

Maybe you haven't been to a Redneck SC bar. Most of the time, the Police won't go in when there is trouble. They just wait on the bouncers to throw the trash out haha

I guess many bars will keep their rules of no guns or other type weapons allowed

Like most of the gun laws it's just blown way out of proportion. Just no big deal. I'm way more concerned with the guy that conceal carries with no permit. He has always been in the bar and will always be there.

Now there maybe someone with some common sense there too. :D

Actually I have, and I haven't noticed much difference in the way they are policed from the way anywhere else.

If anything, in a environment like you're describing it would be nice to know the guy next to you, and the one next to him are both armed.

A armed society is a polite society.

If you've been carrying for a long time you have a different attitude from those who don't spend much time around guns. Really simple concept though. You're always responsible for your actions. It's not complicated.

I don't WANT to be political, but....

Homicide firearm-related death rate per 100,000 population (Wikipedia)-

USA = 3.60
UK = 0.04

Handguns have been illegal in the UK since 1997......the only handguns are unregistered/criminal-owned.

Yes but violent crime has soared in the UK, almost to the worst in the world as reported here. BTW it is second only to Australia, another country that banned their citizens from owning firearms.

Re: SC CWP law allows CC in restaurant and bars.

Just within the last week received my latest Concealed Carry license and along with it came a letter explaining to me the number of other states that have reciprocal rights with Georgia. The number of other states was truly amazing. While not all, a very long list all the same. We should have all states just like a driver's licenses.

I am not talking about other countries, I am talking about the USA, which has more guns than we did in the 60's and a declining rate of gun deaths.

It is difficult to discuss guns and gun control with those that live in other countries as we are unique when it comes to gun ownership in the developed countries.

To be fair: How many of these gun "related" deaths were self defense vs murder vs hunting accident vs police shooting

... and how many were committed by legal carry permit holders. The data gets massaged so much it's often hard to understand what is really there.
