S 115 Constitution Carry … Make Some Calls please.
Palmetto Gun Rights is asking for help on Senate Bill S115 Constitutional Carry.
From their email:
Constitutional Carry preserves the option to get a permit for carry in other states . . . but it will not be required to carry in South Carolina. But Senate Judiciary Chairman Larry Martin (R-Pickens) assigned our constitutional carry bill to a tough subcommittee.
The subcommittee has five people on it. Two are pro-gun . . .
* Senator Lee Bright (R-Greenville/Spartanburg)
* Senator Shane Martin (R-Spartanburg)Two are anti-gun . . .
* Senator Gerald Malloy (D-Darlington)
* Senator Brad Hutto (D-Orangeburg)And one is luke-warm.
The deciding vote on the subcommittee will be Senator Greg Hembree (R-Horry). Inside sources in the Senate tell me they doubt Senator Hembree will be very gun friendly. When I called fellow gun advocates in Horry County, they told me the same thing. Greg Hembree’s gun rights credentials are questionable at best. The fact is we just don’t know where he will stand. He has been asked . . . and he has not yet responded. You know what that usually means! If he doesn’t want to go on the record, then he’s waiting to see which way the wind is blowing! I need you to contact Hembree and help him understand how the wind blows for gun rights in South Carolina! Tell him you want S115, Constitutional Carry, passed out of his subcommittee as is, with no amendments. We can’t afford for it to be weakened or delayed with amendments. It needs to pass as it is written.
Contact Senator Hembree RIGHT NOW at (803) 212-6016 or at [email protected].
But what about Larry Martin? Larry Martin is 100% responsible for the makeup of this subcommittee. It was his choice! He wants you to think he is pro-gun because he assigned the bill to subcommittee after hearing from all the Palmetto Gun Rights supporters. The truth is in the makeup of that subcommittee. I need you to contact him and tell him you are not fooled! If he was truly a friend to gun rights, he’d have done a better job on the subcommittee assignments. Call today and tell him he might want to consider a different subcommittee for S115, Constitutional Carry.
Contact Senator Larry Martin TODAY [email protected] or at (803) 212-6610.
We must show Larry Martin and Greg Hembree immediately that we are here and that we are not going away.
==========
Now I looked around and found this from Greg Hembree:
Fellow South Carolina Citizen,
As an avid sportsman and lifetime gun owner I am deeply committed to protecting our 2nd amendment “right of the people to keep and bear arms”. Unfortunately our constitutional rightsare being challenged by a President that has little regard for the constitution that he has pledged to protect. We must take this fight seriously.
I am eager to study and discuss State Senate bill S 115. To date our sub-committee chairman Senator Lee Bright has NOT scheduled a time and date for us to discuss and take action on the bill. Please contact him and request that he move this bill forward. His telephone number is 864-587-1800 and his email is [email protected].
Thank you for your commitment to our constitutional rights and for your input.
You servant,
Greg Hembree, Senator
So it seems as if Hembree is the swing vote … that people in his district aren’t sure he’s a second amendment champion, but that Greg is whining online that Lee Bright hasn’t schedule a subcommittee meeting yet. hmmm. Does Greg think Lee is delaying his own bill? OR … is this a set up “Oh I WANTED to pursue this, but Senator Bright is not cooperating” ?
Well either way, Palmetto Gun Rights is asking you to make some calls on this bill.
