Columbia, SC ? Rep. Nikki Haley today announced her opposition to House Bill 4112. This bill would expand the ability of public officials who possess a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) to carry their weapons in areas where the general public cannot.
Haley, a CWP permit holder herself whose staunch support for gun rights has earned her a lifetime ?A? rating from the National Rifle Association, remarked, ?The state legislature was elected to represent the people of this state, not the special interest and convenience of themselves. This type of arrogance has to stop.?
?Instead of giving perks to elected officials, we should be passing a law that expands the carrying rights of every citizen of South Carolina,? Haley added. ?If the current laws are an inconvenience to legislators ? which they undoubtedly are ? they are an inconvenience to everyone. It?s time that legislators stop treating themselves as a privileged, ruling class, and start working to benefit all South Carolinians.?
If the bill makes it to the House floor, Haley will introduce an amendment to change H. 4112 so that every CWP holder in South Carolina is covered by its provisions.
Time will tell although she has impressed me so far. The fact that she openly stated that she hated unions was a great first step.fordnut said:Makes me proud that I voted for her...

She had no choice. The only reason SC is attracting so many new companies - Is because of NO unions! And the state legislature will give what is here, no power. I heard they were going to change the name of North Charleston to - Boweingville. :lol:Schultz said:Time will tell although she has impressed me so far.

The elitist mindset many politicians and people with money have. Common snobs.Keltyke said:The woman definitely impresses me! Why should legislators be special? They want guns, but they don't want US to have them.
