Constitutional Carry (29 States Now) a Sign of Political Health

Thank you, South Carolina!

The South Carolina General Assembly passed Constitutional Carry and the bill is now headed to Governor McMaster for his signature. South Carolina is poised to become the 29th state to allow for constitutional/permitless carry and has taken another significant step in advancing the Second Amendment rights for all South Carolinians.

House Bill 3594 strengthens the right to self-defense in South Carolina by recognizing the right of all adults to carry a concealed firearm without first obtaining the government’s permission.

29 states now have Constitutional Carry, which simply means a reaffirmation that the 2nd Amendment is inviolable in those states. It’s a good indication of states where you may wish to consider living if you feel trapped in a blue state, and want out. If I’m correct that the federal regime (which even a second President Trump couldn’t totally control, certainly not beyond 2028) continues to go berserk in its arbitrary use of power, it will be up to state and local governments–and ultimately we, the individual people–to save ourselves. It stands to reason that a state government who upholds the right to self-defense and wants its citizens armed will not resort to totalitarian rule any time soon.

States presently with Constitutional Carry are:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
