I'm not sure what the point is. I guess it's to clarify that people have the right to buy guns. Seems redundant but that's what government is good at. If you read the law all citizens are already part of the unorganized militia. The only thing this law adds is the ability to resign from the militia.

section C

#1 includes unorganized militia.

#2 may or may not include them. it only says milita.

i think the point is we wont be effected by any federal gun,ammo or mag bans. but not until #2 says unorganized.(in my opinion)

whin the state. so we wont be able to take whatever is banned out of state?

It's a different take on sticking your thumb in the feds eye over new federal gun control.

(2) A militia member, at his own expense, shall have the right to possess and keep all arms that could be legally acquired or possessed by a South Carolina citizen as of December 31, 2012. This includes shouldered rifles and shotguns, handguns, clips, magazines, and all components.

(3) The unorganized militia may not fall under any law or regulation or jurisdiction of any person or entity outside of South Carolina.

It's silly. The RTKBA has nothing to do with being in a militia, so I don't see the point, nor do I see any protection.

The right is an individual right and is intended to protect me against the government whether that government entity is organized, unorganized or any other random name.

I was born with this right and dont need to be in the SC Grab-Ass Militia to retain it. Pass this bill and it equates to SC admitting that the second amendment applies to the militia, and not the individual, at least IMO.

SC Grab-Ass Militia aside... if you are a male US Citizen aged 17 - 45 then you are, right now, a member of the United States Unorganized Militia according to Federal law.

10 USC CHAPTER 13 - THE MILITIA

(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied
males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section
313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a
declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States
and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the
National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are -
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard
and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of
the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the
Naval Militia.

the link above doesnt mention 45 or an age limit, not here anyway.

SECTION 25-1-60. Composition and classes of militia.

(A) The militia of this State consists of all able-bodied persons over seventeen years of age who are:

and you are right, we dont need no stinkin permission.
