"South Carolina Adopts Permitless Open Carry Law: What You Need to Know"

South Carolina has become the 29th state to allow residents to carry handguns without a permit, with the new law in effect immediately. The legislation applies only to handguns and includes specific places where guns cannot be carried. While there are mixed impacts on overall gun mortality rates in states with permitless carry laws, getting a permit in South Carolina still has benefits, including the guarantee to carry concealed in 35 other states. The state will appropriate funds to cover the cost of concealed carry classes, and gun rights groups are generally supportive of the new law.

Understanding the Complex Factors Behind School Shootings: A Study's Findings

A new study published in JAMA Pediatrics reveals that most school shootings orchestrated by teenagers in the US between 1990 and 2016 were not mass casualty events and were often related to community violence. The study found that the majority of these shootings involved handguns and were the result of interpersonal disputes. The researchers emphasize the need for differentiated solutions to address school shootings driven by community violence, as the perpetrators and motivations differ from those of mass shootings. The study also highlights the importance of responsible firearm storage by parents and the potential benefits of investing in community violence intervention programs.

Alabama Mass Shooting Suspects Face Court Hearings.

Investigator Jesse Thornton testified at an Aniah's Law hearing for five of six suspects in the Dadeville birthday party shooting that killed four people and injured 32 others. Thornton revealed that 89 gunshots were fired by seven guns inside the Mahogany Dance Studio, and they believe six of the guns were fired by the six defendants and victim, Corbin Holston. All the weapons used were handguns, but they believe two of them had been modified with illegal Glock switches. The suspects have been charged with four counts of reckless murder, and the prosecutor argued they were too much of a public safety risk to allow out on bond.
