South Carolina gives gun shoppers tax holidayThursday, November 27, 2008 Seanna AdcoxAssociated Press
Columbia, S.C. - TVs and laptops won't be the only hot items in South Carolina this Black Friday. The state is offering an unusual perk to shoppers: no sales tax on handguns, rifles and shotguns.

The so-called "Second Amendment Weekend" is thanks to a little-debated amendment legislators tacked on this summer to a tax break for energy-efficient appliances.

While the energy-efficiency measure doesn't go into effect until next year, on Friday and Saturday gun buyers won't have to pay state and local sales taxes that can total 8 percent. Taxes still apply to ammunition and accessories.

Sounds like we need to push for that to be on a NATIONAL level!

That would be a good promotion! Unfortunately, it would be illegal in my state (NV), even if the retailer paid the sales tax. Doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's the law here.
