- GrassRoots South Carolina - Who We Are and Our Purpose

Modeled after similar organizations in other states, GrassRoots South Carolina is a South Carolina 501(c)4 Corporation. Our primary goals are to educate merchants, to keep our membership up to date on firearms and CWP issues, and to keep our membership
aware of legislative issues of concern to law-abiding firearms owners in South Carolina.

Our mission is to educate and promote acceptance of responsible firearms ownership within the State of South Carolina and to protect the rights of law abiding citizens with regard to firearms ownership. Initially we focused all of our attention on Merchants who posted against the lawful carrying of concealed weapons in their stores. Since then we have broadened our scope and are currently increasing information delivery to all firearms owners, the concealed weapons permit holder, and instructor. No doubt as we continue to grow we will further broaden our objectives to improve all aspects of lawful ownership and carrying of firearms in South Carolina.

We have already learned that making positive change with merchants, communities, and others is greatly improved when we use the resources of many. By having increased numbers of educated individuals in each community our efforts are multiplied many times over.

When working with merchants, we initially contact merchants who have posted signs against concealed weapons and attempt to educate them. Afterwards, we hope that they will either remove their signs or post an alternative sign which we provide. If they do neither we distribute the name of the business to thousands of South Carolinians via gun clubs, hunt clubs, shooting sports associations, business supporters, wildlife groups, the Internet, and any other available means in an effort to educate our supporters as to businesses who post against law abiding citizens who carry concealed weapons.

We have had cards printed for those of you that want to report businesses that are posting signs against concealed carry permit holders. Also, we have already launched notice of our organization in several firearms related newsletters, concealed weapons classes, as well as publicly to outline our goals. The idea is to make this a true grass roots effort in organization from our end as well as the public's.

This web page has been constructed and is available for public browsing. The page includes legislative updates, a large Second Amendment Library, and information on how to support GRSC as well as a listing of those merchants who post against concealed weapons permit holders.
