In reply to .40 cal Booger. Not as familiar with SC as it was never a carry or permit option for NY residents unless they owned property in SC but do the counties collect money from training and permit application/processing like NY? If so it may be as much him bitching about lost revenue.

As it has been said here, the criminals never bother to get training or permits. They are the ones that the sheriff should be worried about.

I’ll be driving through his County in July on my way to vacation. If I stop for food or fuel, I will not be watching my 6 for the newly minted concealed carriers. I will be aware of the same characters I see in any state. My State (Ohio) became a Constitutional Carry state last year. Crime has not skyrocketed, instead I think it is a downward trend, except for the kids taking a certain brand or two of cars. Even that act has become more dangerous for kids wanting to joy-ride. No longer do some people just give it up. They now have the ability to defend their persons and their property.
Bad guys never needed the permit, nor the training. They just needed to steal one from an unlocked vehicle or some other illegal way. They did not need to fill in the Fed Form, nor did they need to wait for the transfer paperwork, etc. Nothing changed for the potential perpetrator, except the odds of an armed citizenry.

We should say a prayer too, that his constituents get his message, and then vote accordingly.

I’m so happy I can legally carry now! I’ve been waiting on this day! Now I can commit crimes! Legally!

.40 cal Booger: Well said. This sheriff is an idiot and has no qualms about violating the oath he took nor the rights of good citizens.

“This is a win for the criminals, who can now walk around with a gun and law enforcement cannot do anything about it.”

That is 100% false.

plus criminals never bothered with permits before when there was a permit required, and law enforcement still didn’t do anything about it until they caught them at which point LE would do something and its exactly the same now – catch them and do something about it when they are caught. Nothing has changed in that aspect. This guy is an idiot.

“I said a prayer last night that Richland County does not turn into the wild wild west,”

a 100% false premise. There has never been any state or county or city that turned into the “wild wild west” because the law said law abiding non-prohibited people could carry a gun without a permit. Will he also pray that the mythical ‘rivers of blood in the streets’ don’t appear because law abiding non-prohibited people carry a gun without a permit? Those have never appeared either.

Seriously man, just come out and admit you pray to posters of Joe Biden and David Hogg and Shannon Watts every night.
