Elected officials of all stripes would be able to carry a concealed weapon anywhere in South Carolina, in the course of their official duties, if a bill to come up this week in a House panel becomes law. [More]
Mr. Mason? Comment?
[W]ho are the militia, if they be not the people of this country...? I ask, who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.
Just so we're clear on who's who.

The gap WIDENS.
No legislative body should be able to pass ANY law that doesn't apply to everyone equally.
What a strange way of proving to us that there is no elite seeking to dominate us.

I am against any measure that allows some their rights yet restrains others without due process of law. An elected official may have more responsibilities, yet he or she has no more rights than the common citizen.

I'll know more by tomorrow.
