The bill H. 3748 proposes an amendment to Section 16-23-410 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which currently makes it unlawful for a person to present or point a loaded or unloaded firearm at another individual. The amendment seeks to remove the provisions that prohibit the presentation of a firearm, thereby altering the legal implications surrounding this action. Under the existing law, individuals found guilty of violating this section face felony charges, with potential fines and imprisonment of up to five years.

Additionally, the bill includes a clause that clarifies the impact of its amendments on existing laws, stating that the repeal or amendment of any law does not affect pending actions, rights, duties, or liabilities that were established under the previous law. This ensures that any ongoing legal matters or rights are preserved despite the changes made by this act. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
