I helped my son finally move his junk out of his UofSC dorm room today and there were 5 or so boog bois kitted out in front of that State House by Halls Chop House.  


So who was it and why?   I don't think the SC government is going all Virginia or anything.

Kind of hard to be "kitted out" when OC is not lawful and CWP is prohibited on statehouse grounds including the outer sidewalks.

Well these boys sure were.

I wondered about them having their ARs openly being carried, mags and all standing at the crosswalk in front of Halls.

Somebody was being a Boog Boi.

I thought the sidewalk thing was a temporary order that was determined to be unlawful- wasn't it something mayor McDrinkanddrive got his panties in a wad about it and decreed but the AG shut him down?

Halls side. 4-5 Bois. Plate carriers, ARs, Pistols, full kits. I didn’t see nazi shit, just guys kitted up.

Totally odd if you ask me.  I am all for fighting tyranny but I don’t think SC is there yet. We aren’t in VA under their king.

Open carry is illegal in SC.

How was this legal?

No idea, but I'm glad they were essentially ignored.  Had they been arrested the media surely would have made an issue of it.

without going into detail, my guess would be the dreaded "M" word... I know most of you can't say it... I received of few e-mails from a few guys I used to train with...  they ran security for something else going on...  not "nut jobs", but constitutional guys who won't hide in the shadows...

"Legal" by omission. Open carry of long guns is not specifically mentioned in SC gun laws. As an attorney explained to me decades ago, "if the law does not specifically say you cannot do something, then you can."

This does not omit the possibility of being detained or arrested. We are just fortunate that we do not have "going armed in terror of the public" laws like are found in North Carolina.

Possibly a stop on the way to the range, hunt, fish to make open carry legal.

This. Mayor T-Bone got spanked.

Mayor MacCheese didn't get "spanked" by the state AG he got spanked by the federal district court after they were sued by (I can't remember the man's name...he's the leader of "Occupy Columbia"). Lawsuit was filed by Mark Schnee.

You may remember that the mayor/city council rescinded the 30-day "widening" of the "gun-free zone" only a couple of days after the competing KKK/Anti-KKK rallies.

I have seen no mention of this event from any number of sources be it the media, other SC firearms forums, or the local gun control chapters.

IDK... I resigned and left the SCLFM COC almost 2 years ago,  I lost comms with most.   I have no time or patients for the "in fighting" among the patriot community... it sinks ships fast, that is why so many "named" groups come and go.

the whole "my group is better than your group" thing
