Time to start hounding our representatives to support this legislation.  (Talk of bringing back open carry is swirling around also.)  Please make your thoughts known to your reps!!

I'll speak with Shane Massey personally real soon and ask for his support.

What would be the best way to send our support for this? I know that with our senators and congressmen we can do it electronically, is there a way we can do the same with this one? So, in other words, do our state legislators have a place on line we can use to voice our opinions to them?

I'm all about this....can't wait to see the quality firearms SC can produce...who wants to go in and start an ammo factory with me lol? The demand certainly is high enough.

The demand is definitely high enough... the price of ammo has gotten to be ridiculous. I went to the range the other day and it cost me almost $30 for 50 rounds. Absolutely ridiculous. I remember not too long ago I could shoot for less than $15 (which included lane fees). Enough of this nonsense.
