Denied Renewal of My CWP

· Speeding, 1996
· Speeding, 1997; 2 counts
· Driving too fast for conditions, 1998
· Speeding, 1999
· Speeding, 2001; 2 counts

If I understand correctly, you would qualify for renewal under the new guidelines. The threshhold is more than 6 tickets in 5 years. You have 3.

Now, what's to stop them from including any offense against the State, such as a tax lien or late filing of income tax?

This is far from set right, but obviously your immediate problem is corrected. If the gun organizations follow through, SLED will hear more about this from the legislature. In addition to Gov. Sanford, in a couple of months, Jim DeMint as a US Senator elect, along with Senator Graham, could get involved as well.

If there must be gun ownership restrictions, then it cannot be extended to misdemeanors, or the whole process will be out of control. SLED, if they remain as a regulator, wil have to have their discretion more clearly defined by the law. SC has RKBA in their Constitution, and that needs to mean something. The right of self defense should also be firmly underlined and supported by the law.

Scott and readyfire, thank you for your kind words and thank you, everyone else (well, mostly anyway) for your support through this whole ordeal.

However, having said that, nothing has changed yet for me. It has been 13 business days, and 20 days total, since I sent in my 2nd appeal. (They have 10 to respond.) I have not received anything in the mail yet, so I don't know if that's good or bad.

I guess I'll just wait and keep my fingers crossed.

I think you should call or write. Every day disarmed is a bad day.
