Looking for some constructive ideas/edits for this letter. I know that there are several other states that could be given reciprocity with SC and I encourage everyone to send a like letter (or use this template) to the man. Let him know what you think. Update the template with the requirements of your state and let's inundate him with mail and hopefully motivate them to get a move on. Thanks in advance for the helpful input.
Mods, maybe this is worthy of the Hot Topic forum.
Dear Mr. Lloyd:
I recently read of the Governor signing H 3212 into law on June 16, 2008. As of the writing of this letter, SLED’s website has not added any additional states with which it has reciprocity.
The process required by Virginia residents in order to obtain a Resident Concealed Handgun Permit meet all criteria set forth in 23-31-215(N). An applicant is required to pass a criminal background check as part of the application process and is noted on Virginia State Police form SP-248 (7-1-2008). They are also required to demonstrate completion of a course in firearm training and safety by one of the following: Completing any hunter education or hunter safety course approved by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries or a similar agency of another state; Completing any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course; Completing any firearms safety or training course or class available to the general public offered by a law-enforcement agency, junior college, college, or private or public institution or organization or firearms training school utilizing instructors certified by the National Rifle Association or the Department of Criminal Justice Services; Completing any law-enforcement firearms safety or training course or class offered for security guards, investigators, special deputies, or any division or subdivision of law enforcement or security enforcement; Presenting evidence of equivalent experience with a firearm through participation in organized shooting competition or current military service or proof of an honorable discharge from any branch of the armed services; Obtaining or previously having held a license to carry a firearm in this Commonwealth or a locality thereof, unless such license has been revoked for cause; Completing any firearms training or safety course or class conducted by a state-certified or National Rifle Association-certified firearms instructor; Completing any governmental police agency firearms training course and qualifying to carry a firearm in the course of normal police duties; or Completing any other firearms training which the court deems adequate.
Virginia currently recognizes South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit holders and Virginia’s Resident Concealed Handgun Permit process complies with requirements set forth in South Carolina statutes.
I frequently travel through your state on business and am forced to place my pistol in a center console or glove compartment to comply with current state statutes. I am not allowed to carry on my person at any time. This prevents myself and many others in my situation from protecting ourselves from would be criminals should the need arise. I strongly encourage you to add Virginia to the list of states with which South Carolina has reciprocity with.
Sincerely,
