Issue Position: Gun Rights

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020

The foresight of our Founding Fathers was astounding. Among those rights in the Bill of Rights is the 2nd Amendment. This Amendment gives our citizens the right to keep and bear arms. I am a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment.

There have been many attempts to limit or eliminate this right. I have supported measures in the State House to protect it. In 2013, I sponsored legislation to allow SC Concealed Weapons Permit holders (like myself and my wife) to carry their concealed weapons into Georgia without penalty by allowing CWP reciprocity with the State of Georgia. It did not make it. However, in 2015, I cosponsored a similar bill (H.3799). This bill made it through the House and currently is in the Senate.
