Pretty much - there is in the capitol city of Columbia a neighborhood called Five Points - a lot of restaurants and bars that cater to the University of SC students - there have been a lot of incidents of violence, robberies, rapes, a few shootings there and some of the shootings happened with guys who were packing with no permit and no training, the very thing Gov Nikki thinks is a cool thing.
Her deal is she wants to be the first female President of the US and loves to get the NRA on her side. She is a Sikh by birth but claims to have given it up and become born agin after she married her white Protestant hubby. I have had dealings with her sister - beautiful Sikh woman who is as unprincipled as her sister. She is a big New Ager and has alienated nearly everyone I know who had dealings with her. Of course, Gov. Nikki isn't the one who introduced the proposed law, that was one of our new state legislators, a Republican. As it is, SC citizens can now carry loaded weapons into restaurants and bars, as long as they don't consume alcohol. Not to many bar owners think its a good idea, but hey, when we can all carry open or concealed, it will be much more better. I saw that out in Arizona and New Mexico years ago. I can't wait till I can strap on my American Eagle 50 caliber and go strut around. -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 2/13/14, Bhairitu <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] South Carolina Governor is Smart To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, February 13, 2014, 5:13 PM So South Carolina will become "The Wild East"? :-D On 02/13/2014 08:31 AM, Michael Jackson wrote: we gone have it better here - when Gov.

From what I've read, Iowa allows open carry after applicants successfully complete an approved training course. Apparently Iowa will honor any valid permit issued by any other state. Persons do not have to be a resident of the state from which the permit was issued. However, an Iowa resident must have an Iowa Permit To Carry in order to lawfully carry a firearm on his or her person in Iowa.
