The NRA-ILA issued an Alert:






South Carolina: Critical Self-Defense Reform Delayed in Senate

Senate Bill 308, a critical self-defense reform that would remove the prohibition on a Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP) holder carrying a concealed firearm into a restaurant licensed to serve alcohol, remains on the state Senate calendar. Introduced by state Senator Sean Bennett (R-38), S. 308 would still prohibit a permit holder from consuming alcohol while in a restaurant if he or she is carrying a concealed firearm for personal protection. While the Senate Judiciary Committee passed S. 308 with a favorable Majority Report and because there was also an unfavorable Minority Report, this bill is considered ?contested.? This ?contested? status can delay passage of S. 308 indefinitely, but there are several options available to remove the impediment of the Minority Report. One procedure would be to have S. 308 set for Special Order.

Please contact your state Senator TODAY and urge her or him to vote to set S. 308 for Special Order, as well as to oppose any efforts to weaken this critical reform. Please remind your state Senator that 44 other states have enacted similar laws.

I got a reply from a Rep (and sponsor) saying that they are hoping to have another vote on Special Order "soon."

These were the "NAYS" -- we need to flip ONE to get to the 2/3 required to move forward.

NAYS

Allen
Coleman
Ford
Jackson
Johnson
Lourie
Malloy
McElveen
McGill
Nicholson
Reese
Scott
Setzler
Sheheen
Williams

I think every single one is a Democrat. If your rep is on this list please contact them. Heck, even if this isn't your rep, contact them. Shaheen is from Kershaw with a 92% NRA ranking, he ought to be sway-able, for example.

Hey folks, to update, I talked with Thomas McElveen tonight. http://www.thomasmcelveen.com/

The most important fact: He is trying very hard to be approachable. That means that this is THE TIME to bombard him with phone calls, letters, and emails. He's responding to emails with personal phone calls, and returning calls ASAP. I left a message during prime dinner hour and he called me back within 10 minutes.

Also of note: His wife has a CWP and he says that he plans on getting one after the session is over.

Further, in our conversation, he claims to not be entirely against Restaurant Carry but willing to support a time-limit - carry until 10pm. I know it's not what we want, but it gets us something without losing anything - this is the tactic the antis have loved to use against us in the past. Turn it back on them.

So please, do what you can to contact McElveen ASAP!
 
I just emailed every one of the "nays" and called Senator McElveen and left a message. hopefully it will do some good and the process will work.
 
Good news!

As a side bar, McElveen is a lying snake in the grass. He told my wife straight up that he was not opposed to the bill then voted no.

His dad is a member of MAIG so it isn't surprising.
 
There isn't a lot of background really. He is just droning on and on about anything that comes to his mind. They have amendments in the works to limit restaurant carry to stainless steel guns, only with silver bullets, only between the hours of 2am and 6am, etc etc.

As near as I can tell, there will need to be a motion for unanimous consent to close comments and vote on the bill (unlike the US senate which only requires 2/3 majority). As long as he has the floor, he will keep blabbing on and on. I hope the video archive is capturing the whole thing so a compilation of his stupid quotes can be made.

Sometimes, those conducting a filibuster are able to talk articulately about a topic and make a point that may be important. This Krispy Kreme owner apparently isn't very deep, so his commentary is just stupid.
 
Apparently the guy has a CCW too, which is ironic.

I just sent him an email. Maybe he'll realize people back home are watching him blather. Sounds like not much that can be done with the req't for unanimous consent.

SC's legislature has a lot of tools for the minority to slow up legislation. That isn't necessarily a bad thing looking at how, say, Colorado got rolled.
 
Excellent news!

I have no idea what on earth the time restrictions accomplish, or how many fence sitters there could have possibly been with it passing 33 to 5. But a good day even with that oddity.

It barely got a 2/3 majority needed to proceed for Special Order, which was the key vote.

Several Senators such as Sen McElveen voted AGAINST the critical special order vote only to flip and vote for it on the final reading. I suspect this is because they wanted to kill the bill, but once it was clear it would pass they wanted to be able to say they supported it and burnish their 2A credentials.
