Vermont, SC or "Only Ones" Carry?

This may not be the "No Permit Carry" bill the news article paints it to be, per Ed Stone .

Here's a discussion where some concerns have surfaced.

Here's the bill in question.

Your thoughts?

Gosh, if they make it complicated enough maybe nobody will notice that they are still being told when, how and where they will be "allowed" to defend themselves and their loved ones.

If they were truly interested in public safety or personal liberty, of course, they'd just repeal the whole bloody thing and forget about it.

Murder, rape and other aggression are always "against the law," so none of this makes any sense at all.

"Only Ones" carry.

(A) A person carrying a deadly weapon usually used for the infliction of personal injury concealed about his person is guilty of a misdemeanor, must forfeit to the county, or, if convicted in a municipal court, to the municipality, the concealed weapon, and, upon conviction, must be fined not less than twofive hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollarsor imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both.

It would be a misdemeanor to carry a deadly weapon.

SECTION 6. Sections 16-23-20 and 23-31-217 of the 1976 Code are repealed.

The section on CCWs is repealed.

Section 1B reads: (B) The provisions of this section do not apply to:

(1) A person carrying a concealed weapon upon his own premises or pursuant to and in compliance with Article 4, Chapter 31 of Title 23;
(emph added)

I don't see where it repeals the CCW permit.

Please point out the statute that authorizes the issuance of CCWs.

Thank you.
