House Judiciary OKs four day gun purchase cooling off bill
In South Carolina the House Judiciary committee approved a four day waiting period for handgun purchases by a 10 to 8 vote. Critics said it infringes rights and won't deter crime while supporters cite keeping guns from felons and reducing impulse shootings. The bill lowers penalties and lets sheriffs approve waivers and check applications.
