South Carolina has passed a law generally referred to as constitutional carry, making it the 29th state to do so. However, the law is not considered true constitutional carry due to certain restrictions and differential treatment of individuals. Key issues include prohibited areas like churches and medical facilities, a 'willfulness' clause for violations, and a controversial amendment creating a 14th Amendment violation by adding penalties based on permit status.
This video analyzes Illinois concealed carry laws concerning firearms on public transportation, specifically CTA trains. It references the Illinois Concealed Carry Act (430 ILCS 66, Section 65 A8) which prohibits carrying firearms on buses, trains, and public transit facilities. The discussion is prompted by recent incidents on the CTA Green and Red Lines, highlighting legal interpretations and past prosecutorial decisions regarding concealed carriers encountering criminal activity.
