The governor of South Carolina just signed Constitutional Carry into law yesterday giving law abiding citizens the right to carry their guns in public.

Here’s more from Fox News:

Henry McMaster on Thursday signed permitless carry into law, marking the second Republican-led state in two days to adopt constitutional carry gun laws.

“This new law will provide strict increased penalties for illegal gun use and possession by criminals. Now, law enforcement, prosecutors and judges can keep career violent criminals behind bars where they belong, where they can no longer hurt innocent South Carolinians,” McMaster said this week of the legislation.

The National Rifle Association (NRA)-backed bill allows eligible citizens 18 and older to carry a firearm in public without gaining approval and a permit from the government. The state Senate passed the bill Wednesday in a 28-18 vote, while the state House passed the legislation the day prior, with lawmakers voting 86-33.

McMaster is the second Republican governor this week to sign such legislation into law, following Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry approving his state’s version on Tuesday.

As far as I can tell this only applies to open carry, not concealed carry. It was legal in South Carolina to open carry as long as you had a concealed carry permit. Now you don’t need a permit to open carry in the state.
