The proposal allows so-called open carry of guns for people who undergo training and background checks to carry guns hidden under a jacket or other clothing.
The House originally passed the bill in March. Senators then made changes in their version, including eliminating a $50 permit fee. South Carolina is one of only five states without so-called open carry.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division says the law goes into effect on August 16, which is 90 days after it was signed. I will proudly support any legislation that protects or enhances a South Carolinian’s ability to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights, and that’s exactly what this bill does, McMaster said after he signed it.

LOS ANGELES - There have been 10 mass shootings in the past week and at least 10 mass shootings on average every week for the first 18 weeks of 2021, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
A mass shooting is defined by a minimum of four victims shot, either injured or killed, not including any shooter who may also have been killed or injured in the incident, according to the Gun Violence Archive. There were a total of 198 mass shootings across the United States between Jan. 1 and May 11, the data showed.
A national gun rights organization that says its mission is to "help responsible Americans keep their loved ones safe" is launching a super PAC in its push for concealed carry reciprocity, in which a gun owner's concealed carry permit or license is valid in states beyond the state where it was issued.
