You may have a gun in your condo, and in South Carolina anyone who may legally own a gun may carry it in either the glove compartment or the console compartment in an automobile. SC Code SECTION 16-23-20 (9)a.

We are driving to Florida and I plan on carrying once I get into Virginia for the remainder of my travel. A quick question, once I get to South Carolina. I know Non-Florida residents can NOT CCW in SC. However, on "open Carry" it says that I can keep a loaded firearm in the glovebox or console. Just making sure this is correct in the rare instance I get pulled over and searched. Here is the link: http://opencarry.org/sc.html I do not plan stopping in SC but while driving through the state I do not want to pull over, unhol;ster, put back in the case then do it again in GA. Any help, thanks.

But guns are designed to protect people....cars aren't.

I agree, remove the gun laws, high income tax, high propety tax, high car insurance, super corrupt NJEA and 50% of workers working for the sate...oh and get rid of traffic and this would be an awesome state to live in....

Signed and emailed to 15 people. Please email the link, share, whatever...

Something just came to mind. Since the TSA is a Federal agency will they log (Federally) that you are a gun owner? Meaning, now the Federal government knows you own a gun, which kind, etc?

....and that cost you a grand total of $1.23! I need to lose weight so you young bucks are pissing me off. I had a banana, yogurt for breakfast and a lean cuisine Salsbury steak for lunch. My blood pressure is up..maybe it's this state or Obama and not my weight?

Your tip on survival is duly noted but may not help because my kids are "full of crap" so cooking them could be hazardous to my health.

That is my main concern as well. What if they close down the bridges in NJ? At what point do I "bug out"? I guess when I start to sense it is too dangerous? Store up fuel enough for two cars to get you a few hundred miles at the very least. I feel I have done my job with protection, food, water, power supply and fuel but lack a plan for where, when and with whom. Any suggestions? BTW, my main concern beyond the obvious is getting out of this state. You have no choice having to go over a bridge unless you go up to NY state. As corrupt as this state is I would not take the "bridge" scenario lightly. BTW, I am amazed that my life has come down to being concerned about this stuff, but I guess facing the outside possibility that it could happen is better than denial. Additionally I have a wife and three children that I feel responsible for and I take it seriously.

Thanks. I will print that out and take it with me in the event some TSA goon tries to "bully" or whatever.

So if I check in at the Kiosk, I print my ticket then when ready to give them my bag I tell them I need to declare a firearm? They will give me a paper to fill out and that's it? To be sure I put my .380 in the case, two locks empty magazine in locked case and ammo in a box somewhere else in the checked luggage? Sorry for all the questions, I don't want to miss something and end up on the news or in jail.

I can't remark or leave a "thumbs down". Typical lying progressives... they lie and when they have opposition they silence them.

Okay...thanks for your response. Agreed.

I do prison ministry and have threats against me.I have seen some of these guys out of prison, granted I have not had any problems, but I could. I had to go up against the school board in 2007 and it was in the news...all news. I was sent hate email, hate mail, bank account compromised, threatened annonomously. I called the police and was given the run around. I would walk around waiting for some left wing looney to jump me without any defense and had to limit where and when I would go out. You think you are the only one threatened? I have to go into chemical plants around Camden, Newark and so forth. Am I allowed to carry? No! There were sections where I would not go into these plants because it was simply too dangerous. If I can't carry, then neither can you off duty...I have every right to protect my well being and that of my family just as you do. Is one person's well being and safety more important than another? From this post, that is what I read. Are we a nation of laws or of men?

I feel it is a moral duty of mine to protect a woman getting the crap beat out of her as well...and I did. I had no gun, no protection just my conscience that told me to do so. I put my life at risk because I don't want to wait 5 minutes for a LEO to get there and live with the possibility that this woman is killed. I don't care about lawsuits and consequences... the thought of that woman being killed would be on my conscience for the rest of my life. If that were my daughter or wife I hope others would do the same. The thing that bothers me is when I got my FID and permits I spoke to the Chief of police in my area. He was very pro-gun and very supportive until I mentioned carrying. At that point his attitude changed [completely] to arrogant. He even stated that most/all citizens are too stupid to carry and to rely on LEOs. "What"? I said. "I am not allowed to defend myself outside of the home"? That really ticked me off, because in reality me walking around without a firearm is in more dangerous or the same as an off duty LEO walking around without one as well.I encounter the same people that you do, I go to the same places and I have my family. What gives an off duty LEO a special right to protect your family when off duty? I have the right to protect my wife and three children just as you do. I would to like hear why you don't think I should have the Constitutional right to defend my family but you can. BTW, my Grandfather and two uncles were Philadelphia cops for their entire lives so I am well aware and respect what you do. I am simply trying to understand why NJ LEOs have the mentality that honest citizens don't need to carry or should not be allowed to. Please, I mean no disrespect and apologize in advance if I seem so.

I like the moon as there is no tyrannical government there...yet.

That's what I figured. I'll pass and guess that's what they want. I rarely fly anymore because the last few times the TSA agents were rude, pushy and I did not feel comfortable with them. I used to fly quite often and they would joke around (even right after 9/11) and were very complimentary. Now, not so much in my last 3 - 4 business travels.. Anyway, is the Pepper blaster okay to check on?

These laws are awesome as it will stop criminals from buying these items and protect innocent tax paying citizens...keep the laws coming, for our protection, of course. I swear, these freaking politicians have no clue!

Cr@p, that's what I wanted to avoid. Not that my friend's a snitch but all I need is for my anti-gun boss to find out....that won't work. How about a Kimber Pepper blaster? Could I simply put that in the checked luggage undeclared?

Okay, this will be the first time I will check my .380 on a plane. I will check one bag flying out of Philadelphia. I will lock it in the case with ammo separately then put the locked case in the checked luggage. Two things: -Whom do I notify that I have the firearm in my luggage? Do I call beforehand or after I get my ticket at the Kiosk? -Also, I am flying with a business associate and don't want him to know that I am carrying a gun in my luggage. What do you suggest?

At what point will stupidity be illegal? So they were found to be "freedom of expression" at some point in time in NJ, now they are no longer "freedom of expression". So which one is it?

Maybe we can contact people on this site, send emails to friends,Tea party networks, work with SAF,NRA and others (mailing lists) set up a date then peacefully stand in front of the capital building? I don't know, just throwing the idea out there... I am tired of whining and complaining with no action. I know we all work and have families but we will (at some point) need to legitimately defend ourselves outside of the home and these Unconstitutional CCW laws in New Jersey could get US killed. What say you?

Maybe you should ask "why do we need permits, fingerprinting, pay $18, take off from work and get treated like a criminal in order to to fulfill a right that I am granted"? Well, maybe you should save that for another time...

I am ready to do it. I pay $162 per month for cable and I got to start cutting stuff back...I can get FIOS internet for $54.99 and Netflix for $7.99. ROKU has so many choices but live sports is limited. I could get some sports through the antenna and subscribe to MLB.com for $20 and get out of market games but no Phillies. Before i cut the chord anyone have suggestions or alternatives?

I have checked all of them and they are within $300-400 per year difference which (for me) ain't worth changing. We have Liberty Mutual and four drivers on our policy: Me, my wife, 20 year old and 17 year old. We pay $7200 and that is with Liability only on two cars and full on for me and the wife. Believe it or not they are the least expensive and we have NO record of accidents or tickets!!! Checked with PA and the same policy is $3,200.... yet another reason for us to move out of this state. Between Health insurace, property taxes and car insurance I am $25,000 in the hole before the year gets started. Throw in private school, 6% income tax and federal tax and I am SCREWED!
