Councilmembers in South Carolina’s Horry County voted during a virtual April 21, 2020, council meeting to adopt a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution.
The sanctuary resolution, contained in Ordinance 15-2020, was voted on after receiving its third reading.
The ordinance makes “the county an independent republic and protects citizen’s right to bear arms and ensures the county won’t have to comply if state or federal government change laws,” 4 News reports.
Councilman Steve Hoffman authored the Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution.
WMBF reports that councilman Tyler Servant was a strong proponent of the resolution. Servant said, “What this resolution does, is it just shows the country, that Horry County is a strong proponent of the Second Amendment, and it does it by instituting it in our records for Horry County.”
Kershaw County was the first South Carolina county to adopt Second Amendment Sanctuary status.
WYFF4 highlights that Kershaw, and then Pickens County, were the only two Second Amendment Sanctuary counties in the state prior to Horry’s resolution.
