South Carolina Members! Please Thank Your Legislators!

Friday, May 7, 2004

Today, HB 3442 passed Third Reading in the Senate. This bill seeks to repeal the current prohibition on purchasing more than one handgun in any 30-day period. HB 3442 now heads to the House for an expected concurrence vote, and then to Governor Mark Sanford (R) for his expected signature. This legislation represents a tremendous victory for South Carolina`s pro-gun community, as it will repeal a restriction on our Right to Keep and Bear Arms that has been on the books since the 1970`s. Our thanks go out to all Senators and Representatives who supported this bill, but a special thanks should be extended to several key lawmakers who worked with NRA, and Gun Owners of South Carolina (GOSC), NRA`s state affiliate, to ensure passage of this critical reform. Representatives Bill Sandifer (R)—the primary bill sponsor—and James Harrison (R); and Senators Hugh Leatherman (R), Glenn McConnell (R), and John Hawkins all deserve a special thanks.
