Letter to the Editor

Thank you for diversity

I want to commend you for the recent diversity you’ve printed on the Voices pages. It’s a welcome surprise after so many years of the liberal ideology we’ve been subjected to. And the latest article by Mr. Paul Hyde overwhelmingly validates what Senator Chip Campsen was trying to get everyone to understand when the so-called “Constitutional Carry” bill was being discussed.

The average thinking person finds it hard to understand why the Legislature would replace our Concealed Weapon law which required training to learn how to handle a gun, as well as a background check on the individual purchaser, and replace it with an invitation for every bad egg in the State to walk around with a gun in his pocket. 

It’s a sad day in America when a group of like-minded people who don’t even live in our State can mail out their large, slick propaganda asking our voters to jump on their Senators or Representatives who don’t agree with their misguided agenda. It’s also sad that so many people don’t bother to do their research or call the elected official who is being hammered by out-of-state money.

Mr. Hyde is absolutely correct with the statement “we’re moving in the wrong direction. Permit-less carry, a colossal self-inflicted wound for South Carolina, makes us all less safe.”
