AI Summary
This bill, the "South Carolina Constitutional Carry Act of 2017", removes the requirement for individuals to possess a concealed weapon permit to carry a handgun in South Carolina. It amends various sections of the state code to allow for the lawful carrying of handguns without a permit, with some exceptions for certain locations and individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms under state law. The bill also makes changes to the reciprocity rules for out-of-state concealed carry permits and the requirements for individuals to inform law enforcement of their permit status. Overall, the bill expands the ability of South Carolina residents to carry handguns without obtaining a state-issued permit.
