Congratulations on your "A" rating and endorsement and thank you for your consistent support of the ‘Second Amendment. Good luck with your campaign, and we look forward to our continued relationship to advance the interests of South Caroiina’s law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen. Sincerely, AKL aw.
