COLUMBIA, S.C. The South Carolina House has given key approval to a bill allowing gun owners to openly carry a firearm without a permit.
The Constitutional Carry Act of 2021 passed 69 to 47 Wednesday.
Just a few weeks ago legislators passed a bill allowing open carry if someone has a permit, but this bill would remove the provision, allowing anyone to open carry, regardless if they have a permit. Republicans also amended Wednesday’s bill to bar the state from enforcing federal gun control regulations.
Big changes are coming to Iowa s gun regulations.
Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a law April 2 allowing people to buy and carry handguns in Iowa without first obtaining a permit, among other changes.
Reynolds and other Republicans say the law protects the 2nd Amendment rights of Iowa s law-abiding citizens. Democrats and gun violence prevention groups say it will roll back background checks on handgun sales between private citizens.
Here s what to know about the law:
The new gun law takes effect July 1
Until then, Iowans still need a permit to purchase or carry a handgun openly or concealed.
