South Carolina senators have taken several steps to bring to a vote a bill that would allow licensed people to openly carry pistols and not hide them under a jacket.
The bill appeared to be running out of time to pass in 2021, but senators held two subcommittee meetings last week and then voted 27-12 on Thursday to send the bill straight to the Senate floor.
Senators then agreed to put the bill in a special slot where by rule it gets debated before most other legislation. The House has already passed the so-called open-carry proposal.
State Representative Bobby Cox discussed this and the contents of the open carry legislation on the Tara Show Monday morning. You can listen to the full discussion below or by visiting the Tara Show page on the podcast section of our website:
