Bill S. 593 - sponsored by Senator Shane Martin (R-Spartanburg) - was
signed into law yesterday by Governor Sanford! This law allows SC concealed
weapon permit holders to have a firearm in the glove compartment, console
or trunk of a vehicle while on school or college property in this state.
GrassRoots GunRights spoke before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on
April 16th to identify important changes which needed to be made to S. 593
so the bill would properly protect concealed weapon permit holders from
being arrested. The GrassRoots recommended changed were adopted.
You can read the original bill on the statehouse website at:

Another small step toward reclaiming our inalienable rights. Thanks to all
of you that were right on top of this thing, especially The Grassroots
Gunrights Group who continues the fight for the Second Amendment in SC.
