S.C.: No Sales Tax on Guns Weekend
Not this weekend but next. From the Sun News:
South Carolina shoppers will get a second chance to buy tax-free guns.
The state Revenue Department sent out a reminder Wednesday of the upcoming “Second Amendment Weekend.”
The 48-hour tax break begins just after midnight the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Shoppers will pay no state or local sales taxes on handguns, rifles and shotguns, which can total 9 percent. Taxes still apply to ammunition and accessories.
Just in time for the start of Christmas shopping.

We, (Louisiana) did this over the Labor Day weekend and it was a tremendous success. We made all hunting, fishing, and camping gear tax-free just before the start of the hunting season.
It’s a great idea and one that bears repeating. Over and over.
