Repeal the concealed gun-carrying law immediately. South Carolina's restaurants were already safe. No legislation allowing guns into places that serve alcohol should have passed, according to our own state law enforcement officers.
Why is this important?
Many of us who live in the coastal resort areas of South Carolina, like Hilton Head, and Charleston, rely on out-of-state tourism revenues. We feel that allowing concealed firearms into places that serve alcohol is a recipe for tragedy. We also believe that posting "no guns allowed" signs in restaurant windows sends the wrong message to visitors, and will have a negative impact overall.
