South Carolina Passes Bill to legalize Poker in your home

YES Poker Surfers that's right.  According to www.pokernewsdaily.com, last week South Carolina's Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill that would change South Carolina's old 1802 law that bans any game w/dice or cards. (yes that includes all other board games w/dice or cards too) This came about after a home was raided back in 06' and the police confiscated $6,000 and charged 22 people with gambling citations. Funny thing is, we never here of police down there raiding home "monopoly" games or church "bingo night" but if it's poker it's "taboo".   Well the PPA (Poker Players Alliance www.theppa.org) got involved to help support members who took the case to the supreme court.  Now we are all just waiting on the verdict from the supreme court about the case from Mount Pleasant. Good Luck to all!

Really SC a law from 1802?
