Dear Governor - I read with interest an article on the great State of SC contemplating a bill to outlaw guns for persons "convicted" of DV. While I am against DV I also understand how parties in a divorce will use the issue for undeserved benefit in family matters. While the intent of the State's action is admirable, I would ask that it be limited to convictions in CRIMINAL court and not in Family court. The reason being is the level of proof that an event actually happened, that a crime actually took place. In criminal court it is the weight of actual evidence whereas in Family court a judge is allowed too much discretion and will embrace their personal/professional bias. Considering over 90% of custodial cases are decided to the benefit of the maternal parent in SC, by definition this is a statistical bias, a bias currently exists in the State's Judiciary. 

P.S. while my interest may seem removed as I am not yet a resident, I plan to relocate to the Charleston area this calendar year.
