*** GrassRoots Action Alert ***
Attention Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP) holders!
20 May 2008
It is crunch time for H. 3212, the concealed weapon permit (CWP)
recognition/reciprocity bill that has been awaiting Senate action
since March 26, 2008, when the House refused to concur with the Senate
amendment just as GrassRoots GunRights asked them to refuse to do.
The Senate version of H. 3212 is completely unacceptable to gun
owners. GrassRoots GunRights provided a detailed analysis of the
Senate amendment to H. 3212 to every member of the House in a letter
dated March 24, 2008. The GrassRoots analysis - which is repeated
below - exposes exactly why the Senate amendment would make South
Carolina CWP law worse than existing law. Interestingly, the Senate
amendment would change the law so drastically that South Carolina
could not even get reciprocity with itself! The Senate version of H.
3212 should be opposed by all pro gun rights supporters!
Multiple independent practicing pro gun rights attorneys have read the
GrassRoots analysis of the Senate version of H. 3212, and all have
agreed the GrassRoots analysis is legally sound (their letters of
agreement can be found on the GrassRoots web site). Not a single
independent practicing pro gun rights attorney has found fault with
the GrassRoots analysis of H. 3212.

*** ACTION STEPS: ***
Email every senator who represents people from the county in which you
live. Tell these politicians that "GrassRoots GunRights speaks for me
on H. 3212!" The pro gun House is listening to GrassRoots GunRights,
but the anti gun Senate is pushing a terrible bill. Politicians need
to know GrassRoots GunRights speaks for gun owners in South Carolina,
or else you will get the Senate version of H. 3212. Contact
information is below.
Call your senator and tell them "GrassRoots GunRights speaks for me on
H. 3212!" Use the Senate switchboard (803) 212-6200, or use the
individual office numbers listed below.
Contact Sen. Knotts and let him know how you feel about his betrayal
of gun owners. His email is SIV@scsenate.org and his office phone
number is (803) 212-6350.
