Thats win/win for gun owners in the state of South Carolina - Nikki Haley will still win big. I will also note that I dont trust Sheheen to keep his word on this. He is a left wing Democrat if there ever was one, and he is desperately trying to stay in this race for Governor.... He is willing to promise anything at this point. Via Ammoland
OpenCarry.org is pleased to announce that both parties’ candidate for Governor of South Carolina say they would sign a bill legalizing the unconcealed or “open carry” of holstered handguns in South Carolina.
South Carolina is one of only 7 states to generally ban open carry (see map at http://www.opencarry.org/opencarry.html). Here is the exact question posed to each candidate:
“Would you sign a bill legalizing open carry if it came across your desk as Governor?”Speaking for Republican Nikki Haley, campaign spokesman Josh Baker, after checking personally with Ms. Haley, enthusiastically told OpenCarry.org earlier this year that Nikki Haley would sign an open carry bill.
And just last week an exuberant Tim Schock, campaign director for Democratic candidate Vincent Sheheen emailed OpenCarry.org to confirm that
“Vincent Sheheen would sign an open carry law if it were passed by the legislature and came across his desk as governor.”
