Please contact your Representative and the Judiciary Committee in opposition to H 5072 .
This bill was introduced in SC House by another anti self-defense zealot in response to the Florida shooting. It removes your right to stand your ground and use deadly force anywhere but your home or vehicle. The summary states it only removes this right in a place of business, but if you read, the deletion covers the entire parargraph that also basically states "anywhere you have a lawful right to be". This would in effect render your CWP useless except for your house and car.

I sent the following to all:
A person's right to self-defense goes beyond the home or vehicle. It follows a person regardless of their location. By passing this bill you would put law abiding citizens at more risk and protect criminals. It is time we STOP PROTECTING CRIMINALS.
It is a disgrace that the incident in Florida would be used to ammend a law that protects the rights of law abiding citizens while promoting an anti self-defense agenda. There are rules governing appropriate use of deadly force that must be followed, but to say you cannot stand your ground and use deadly force when called for is to further endanger the lives of those already placed in harms way with no recourse, but to take the risk of retreat.
Do not place law abiding citizens in this situation. Protect our right of self-defense.
