PROTECT THE SECOND AMENDMENT

I believe it is a fundamental right for law-abiding Americans to be able to possess and carry firearms -- whether it is for protection, sports shooting or for putting food on the kitchen table. This right to keep and bear arms must not be infringed upon.

As Richard Henry Lee, American Statesman, said in 1788, "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people possess arms…"

In 2017, I supported House bill 3240, also known as Reciprocity Act that would recognize the concealed carry permits issued by other States in South Carolina, and would expand the number of states that recognize our concealed carry permits in South Carolina, and as amended would allow those who could pass a background check to purchase a gun to carry that gun concealed.
