He had previously <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourpickenscounty.com\/pickens-resident-lapierre-announces-bid-for-senate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">run in the Republican primary<\/a><\/strong> in 2020 against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). LaPierre founded and heads the Christian Leadership Worldview International organization which offers Christian leadership training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/South_Carolina&#039;s_4th_congressional_district\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">seat <\/a><\/strong>that LaPierre is seeking has been held in past by Jim DeMint and Trey Gowdy. It is currently held by Rep. William Timmons who I presume will seek re-election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not know if there is any familial relationship between this LaPierre and the one running the NRA. That said, this LaPierre is at least for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lapierreforhouse.com\/issues\/gun-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">constitutional carry.<\/a><\/strong>  I think it is safe to say that Michael LaPierre, age 60, is not the unknown love child of Wayne LaPierre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were driving through Travelers Rest, South Carolina last week when we saw this.
