So, SC...
Apparently SC's bill isn't dead yet. The Senate appointed a conference committee on Feb 27th. The House adopted the conference report yesterday Mar 5th and passed H3594 again 86 - 33. Hopefully this is enough to get it through the Senate.
Louisiana House passed it today. Headed to the Governor.

Along with permitless carry for residents and non residents Florida also recognizes all home state licenses now which is good.
Hopefully South Carolina and Louisiana will be next. South Carolina's bill is still alive because next year is the second half of their two year session, so it's...
I think RFBfromDE was being sarcastic.
Anyway I agree with you in your post number 12. I sympathize with the easier victim who can't defend themselves because of job, business, location, etc. restrictions.
