Well this oughta piss off Teresa (TDO) when she takes a break from insulting my family.
Columbia (AP) - People as young as 18 can now buy and own handguns in South Carolina. Governor Mark Sanford signed a bill into law Wednesday to lower the minimum age from 21."People who are old enough to fight and die in the military should be able to purchase handguns, and the bill will put our laws more in line with those of other states," Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer said.
Let's hear it for South Carolina!
The law went into effect immediately.
No time like the present.
By the way, besides my nephew being a punk with a gun, my sister and her husband are also punks with guns as they both have CCW permits. I'm a punk with a gun as well although I haven't gotten around to getting a CCW permit, which pisses my sister off to no end.
Thanks to Mike for the link.

Good for South Carolina.

Get your CCW permit, I have had a concealed carry Permit for 30 years.If it does nothing except piss off liberals ...thats OK!
I sincerely hope I never have to use any weapon for self defense but I certainly do not want to be without one if the need presents itself.
Punks with guns!!!!.....I do not have a collection , I have an arsenal & not enough hands to carry them all.
TDO.....BwaHaHaHaHa!!!!

I agree.
Teresa and I had a brief email exchange. She's right, everyone else is wrong. I'm a sarcastic mean old bitch -- but I have fun with it!!
Now, I'm off to do what I enjoy -- teaching punks with guns to read and write. Teresa thinks I'm sicko because I enjoy working with inmates. F'her.
Posted by: vicki on April 3, 2008 06:03 PMPaul - She called my nephew a punk with a gun. That no only insults him, but his parents as well.
Posted by: Denny on April 3, 2008 06:06 PMvicki - SMOB. Almost as good as SAWB (Smart Ass White Boy).
Posted by: Denny on April 3, 2008 06:09 PMVick, what you meant to type is "teaching punks that had guns" right?. I'll give you credit for doing what you do. That would be hard for me to work with inmates. I think it's because I'm of the philosophy that most of them are probably non-correctable. I'm sure you've got stories out the wazoo that prove me wrong, but I still would wonder if I wasn't wasting my time.
As far as being a sarcastic mean old bitch.......what's wrong with that? It will probably get you farther in life that griping about all the bumps in the road life throws at you and will make you stronger because of it. Just like a liberal/dimocrat/socialist to throw names around and not practicing what they preach.
Even more punks with guns. Just thought I would share my first youtube post. My 9 year old and his Ruger .22.

Personally I think that anyone in the military should have full adult privileges - period! They should be able to drink, own guns, whatever. Then again I hate the "nanny state". People don't learn how to take care of themselves when the government is always telling them "don't do that". *sigh*
Posted by: Teresa of Technicalities on April 3, 2008 06:40 PMThe liberals just discovered that McCain may have had sex while at the Naval academy. They're in a tizzy. None of them have ever had sex but they heard it was/is fun, but momma told them it was dirty with anyone other than her. They find out he may carry a gun and we'll have to provide them with several tall cliff's to jump from.
Posted by: Scrapiron on April 3, 2008 07:12 PMThat's fantastic! Finally a step forward instead of backwards as far as 2A is concerned. Governor Mark Sanford get's a standing ovation and a "Fuck Yeah" from me!
Posted by: CharlieDelta on April 3, 2008 07:20 PMWhy not give an 18 year old the responsibility of gun ownership. I agree with the Gov. The punks with guns don't acquire them legally in the first place. Take guns away from law-abiding people and the only guns left will be in the hands of the wrong people!
Ray. Sorry, no long-term success stories. I haven't met an inmate yet that doesn't belong where he is. These punks (who use to have guns) don't have a choice about attending math and writing classes, regardless of their age. I'm of the theory that doing time constructively on work detail and in a classroom is good punishment.
Posted by: vicki on April 3, 2008 09:22 PMVicki, you never know... there might be one or two every once in a while who really do learn a little something that will change their lives for the better later. (I know I'm such an optimist LOL)
As for me, I can't teach - I pretty much want to smack people when they don't understand something or bang my head against a wall for not being able to explain so they can understand. The most I can usually do is walk them through the steps of doing things and hope some of it sticks with them.
Posted by: Teresa of Technicalities on April 3, 2008 10:06 PMI'm still waiting for tdo teresa to describe the military careers of obama and clinton. me and adlai will be waiting
Posted by: vetfromhell on April 3, 2008 11:04 PMvetfromhell - If you are waiting for Teresa (TDO) to do anything that requires thinking you're wasting your time.
Posted by: Denny on April 3, 2008 11:26 PMI'm a punk with a gun as well although I haven't gotten around to getting a CCW permit, which pisses my sister off to no end.
Denny-
If you can get a CCW and haven't, I'm pissed off to no end too! Listen to your sister! Do it already! It's next to impossible to get one here in the People's Republik of Kalifornia... Take advantage of that shit before the libs take the opportunity away from you like they did a long time ago here.
Not that I don't carry anyways... :-)
Posted by: CharlieDelta on April 4, 2008 02:43 AMGreat! Now to get this done in my home state of Virginia as well. Did they also lower the CCW permit age to 18?
Posted by: Charlie on April 4, 2008 03:28 PMYeah, they don't do that while I'm there.
And a few years too late. Since I bought my first handgun in S.C. many years ago. (When I was now over 21.)
Thank God for some sanity. Thank-you South Carolina. You will never see this in the Peoples Republic of Illinois. This state is so crooked and screwed up its pitiful. And its run by left-wing nutjob liberals. Go figure. Good for the people of South Carolina. Salute!!
Posted by: defshepard on April 5, 2008 10:21 AMIt is great when kids learn proper firearm handling. Whenever I want to piss off a liberal, I tell them about the firearms that my 15 year old son owns. It really pisses them off when I tell him that I bought him a WASR-10 (AK-47 look alike) with a bayonet, hi-cap mags, pistol grip, and compensator when the Dems took over (was voted into the majority) Congress in 2006.
