After the mall incident in Indiana, I started wondering about reprocussions of violating the no CWP signs in SC.
From SLED’s website;
“(10) place clearly marked with a sign prohibiting the carrying of a concealable weapon on the premises pursuant to Sections 23-31-220 and 23-31-235. Except that a property owner or an agent acting on his behalf, by express written consent, may allow individuals of his choosing to enter onto property regardless of any posted sign to the contrary. A person who violates a provision of this item, whether the violation is wilful or not, only may be charged with a violation of Section 16-11-620 and must not be charged with or penalized for a violation of this subsection.
Except as provided for in item (10), a person who wilfully violates a provision of this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not less than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than one year, or both, at the discretion of the court and have his permit revoked for five years.”
So I’m no lawyer and my head hurts reading legalize script. What would be the outcome in SC of carrying where prohibited other than the usual gov building, hospital, court house, etc.? I will not step foot in a mall in the state anymore just because of the shit show at Columbiana Center that’s going on.
Should we start pressing our reps to make our laws more like the Indiana “They can only ask you to leave and trespass you” laws?
