Here We Go: SC Sheriff Says He Fears Constitutional Carry Will Turn State Into 'Wild, Wild West'

Bearing Arms ^ | 3/8/24 | Cam Edwards

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember reading that many of the old Wild West towns actually had less crime and murders than Eastern cities in the same era.

Richland County SC...2020 presidential voting results...

Biden...68%
Trump...30%

Sheriff Leon Lott (D)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Lott

A man with “issues”.

[lurk]

If every potential victim carried, potential perps would make less trouble.

[sarge83]

He sounds like a typical South Carolina Republican. Liberal and a pearl clutching granny. Does he not think people are not already carrying? Is he that stupid.

[Organic Panic]

...because gang bangers and criminals would never think of carrying without a permit before this law...

[Blood of Tyrants]

Leftists never let something so minor as being repeatedly wrong on a issue stop them from repeating the same old lies. It’s a unconscious psychological mechanism where people accuse others of harboring feelings that they cannot deal with consciously. They see themselves armed with a gun and imagine that they cannot control their urges, and project those feelings onto others.

Me too, I live out here on the prairie in central Kansas where pretty much everyone carries a firearm on themselves or at the very least in their pickup. We don’t really seem to have any problems out here.

Why the 'Wild West' was not what Liberals claim...

Treat Them to a Good Dose of Lead

[TribalPrincess2U]

But letting, inviting, transporting illegals in won’t or has it already?

[zeugma]

So, what he's saying is that citizens of his state are fundamentally more violent than the 20+ states that already have Constitutional carry.

Interesting. I think it says more about him than the citizens of the state.

[from occupied ga]

The sheriff is just worried that crime will go down and his budget will get cut.

[markman46]

well well well he is a demonrat.

"NH and ME are both Constitutional Carry states and have low crime rates.

Yes, I'm well aware. I'm a New Hampshire resident.

I see I should have used my "Sarcasm" tag. :D
