Another Concealed Weapons Permit Instructor has been arrested for perjury. This time from Lexington, SC. Apparently, this instructor did not teach the required amount of hours and did not offer range time per state law. The people who attended the course may also be charged with perjury. Remember if you teach a Concealed Weapons Permit class make sure you are teaching it per S.C. state law. Also, if you are attending a class, you need to make sure you are receiving the required amount of training before signing the application stating you have attended and received the required training as prescribed in S.C. state law. You must receive at least 8 hours of training with required range training and qualification.

Hearing Scheduled for H.R. 822,the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011

For months we have been reporting on a critically important bill: H.R. 822—the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011. This vital NRA-backed legislation, introduced earlier this year by Congressmen Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) will enable millions of permit holders to exercise their right to self-defense while traveling outside their home states.

Thanks to much hard work and action taken by NRA and our members, H.R. 822 has now garnered 242 cosponsors in the U.S. House. On Tuesday, September 13, the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security will hold a hearing on the bill.
