Per Palmetto Guns Rights
From Denise Snelling and Palmetto Gun Rights
Dear Citizen,
For years, House Judiciary Chairman Gregory Delleney has killed Constitutional Carry legislation in his committee.
Instead of letting HB 3700, the Constitutional Carry bill, sit and die without so much as a hearing or a vote, pro-gun champion State Rep. Jonathon Hill made a motion this past week to recall his Constitutional Carry bill from this kill committee.
Thanks to Rep. Hill’s efforts, we now know who truly stands with gun owners in South Carolina and who stands with the political establishment in killing this vital pro-gun legislation year after year.
It wasn’t pretty. . .
The vast majority of the House, even self-proclaimed pro-gun Republicans, voted to kill Constitutional Carry.
This is a slap in the face to gun owners and activists across South Carolina.
Constitutional Carry would have allowed South Carolinians to exercise their Second Amendment rights without having to beg a government bureaucrat for permission first.
This simply will not stand.

As you can see, the lawmakers in Columbia are NOT listening to what you have to say.
That means we must be louder than ever before!
Contact your Representative today and let them know that law-abiding South Carolinians should’t have to beg the government for permission to protect themselves and their families!
Thank you for all you do.
For Freedom,
Denise Snelling
Chairman
Palmetto Gun Rights
P.S. Pro-gun Representative Jonathon Hill forced a roll call vote on Constitutional Carry this past week, and finally put the whole House on record with a vote on Constitutional Carry!
The legislators in Columbia have not been listening and voted AGAINST this vital pro-gun legislation.
