Such a sticker will make it every easy for anyone in a road rage incident to falsely claim "The other guy pointed a gun at me" or "The other guy threatened to shoot me".
Might as well put a sticker on you plate that says "Feel free to fine me $10,000 if I piss you off".
Make no mistake, there are plenty of libtarded Republicans...look at our wonderful Governor.
I want every one of you to stop worrying about this non-sense! So what, you are labeled anyway. Make fun of this. Move on!
No thanks. I prefer to get pissed off over this bull$shit.
Trey Gowdy doesn't have any say in the matter unless he wants to downgrade his job to state rep.
Antis are trying to push gun restrictions in cities and towns in MA?Let's keep our eyes peeled locally. GOAL sent out an email warning about antis trying to push gun restrictions in our own cities and towns.
Why, because some mush head liberal proposed a law? If that is your criteria you are never going to move anywhere.
ETA: What's interesting is this seems to be proposed by a republican, probably for police officer safety. Vote Republican!
Also, melon my labia and blue lives matter!

WTF?
Well SC is off my short list of places to go...
except it was proposed by a republican
I hate republicans almost as much as I hate democrats. When I read through their vision for America, I gotta admit that I like most of it. But when it comes down to it, they are not mostly about reducing government, they are about stupid stuff like this.
I think his point is is that the guy might be trolling. Like this idea is so stupid maybe just to illustrate the stupidity of anti-gun types so it's a version of political grandstanding.... the bill is so obnoxious that it would never pass but yet it will get air time and people will talk about it.... maybe that is the entire idea.... to keep people pissed off and to keep their eyes peeled about for bills like this...
Looks like SC has its own Dave Linsky.

Misleading thread title is misleading. It's a bill with one sponsor. "South Carolina" does not want this, and I strongly suspect it will not pass.
There are lots of "Gun Laws" being sent up to Columbia SC for consideration once the new session starts. A few of them are desperate attempts at closing "one of those fictitious loopholes" related to the government not doing its job in following up on a background check, a failure that led to 9 people being murdered. The anti-2A measures do not stand a snowballs chance in hell of surviving. It is highly unlikely that this sticker proposal will stick. There is no open carry in SC. Everyone, with some exceptions has to take a class on SC law and pass a live firing test to get their CWP. A CWP holder is required, when approached by a LEO, to inform that LEO that s/he is a CWP holder and is in fact carrying. In SC, non-permitted gun owners can have a loaded gun in their vehicle and are not required to make any such revelation to a LEO. Go figure that one.
There is also a bill being pushed forward to allow certain school teachers and Administrators to Conceal Carry at schools.
There are a good number of anti-gun people in SC but a bigger and better number of pro 2A people and most legislators wouldn't dare vote against the wishes of their gun owning constituents.
Really, my fellow NES's don't waste your kind thoughts or energy worrying about SC. I know as well as you do that you have bigger worries and extremely burdensome issues in mAssachusetts. The hammer wielded by the AG-MH has fallen upon every single semi-automatic gun owner and once the base is smashed, it is very difficult to undo the damage done. You have my sympathy and my support. Fight the good fight for as long as you live, even if you decide as I did to bail out of mAssachusetts.
Best regards

Because one shitbird senator comes up with a unicorn bill? Not sure if serious- you're going to be moving constantly, by that kind of standard.
said the man sitting in the dark corner holding onto his gun in MA!
No, not serious, prefer AZ and TX actually. Just tired of hearing all these stupid ideas. It's spreading like cancer.
Yup. Death by a thousand cuts here in MA.
