Both South Carolina and North Carolina NEED to REPEAL their Draconian Restaurant Fiream-Free Zones.
In South Carolina, unlike North Carolina, you WILL lose your Firearm Rights under Federal Law for a Conviction under SECTION 16-23-465, because; of a Wording FLAW under that SECTION.
Under Federal Law 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(20), The Term: 'Crime Punishable by Imprisonment for more than [1] Year' includes: 18 U.S.C.921(a)(2)(B) *** any State Offense Classified by the Laws of the State as a Misdemeanor and Punishable by a Term of Imprisonment of [2] Years or Less.
South Carolina Code SECTION 16-23-465 DOES Classify this Crime as a Misdemeanor, HOWEVER; the Punishment is BEYOND that [2] Year Threshold.
Therefore, a Person Convicted of SECTION 16-23-465 MUST LOSE their Firearm Rights under Federal Law, albeit South Carolina deeming such Crime as only a Misdemeanor.
The Federal Government is SO great, huh?
