I would firstly like
to commend you for considering legislation that clarifies the laws
concerning firearms within the state. Being a concealed firearm permit
holder, however, I have learned that there are still many places the law
is ambiguous with regards to the ability to peacefully possess a
firearm.
In my understanding, a concealed firearm permit
holder (or anyone for that matter) may not carry a firearm into a house
of worship, or a private residence, if the proper notice has been given
in accordance with Section 76-10-530 of the state code. What the code
does not address is peaceful possession of a firearm on another person's
property, such as a private institution of higher learning, for those
with a valid concealed firearm permit, or a business, for citizens
regardless of having such a permit. This troubles me because I don't
know whether the courts will interpret the law in my favor should the
police be called while I am in such a place, and believe I am within my
rights.
