Very nice site you have here.

Originally from Sussex Co NJ, moved to South Carolina in 1979 after the Marine Corps. Actually began reloading shotgun when I was a kid in the 60's. Hand loaded with a Lee kit while in the Corps. A few years ago an old Marine Corps friend got me back into shooting. Eventually got back into reloading a couple of years ago.

 

Cheers,

Richard

Welcome!

 

Since you are from SC, I am already jealous

Welcome aboard! My mom moved down there last year and loves it. She wants me to come visit but a 12 hour drive with a 20 month old is tuff.

Where in SC is she living? I'm in SE SC. Mild winters and HOT the rest of the year. Great fishing, swimming, hunting, and an extremely gun friendly state. What more could you ask for? :mrgreen:

 

Cheers,

Richard

Huh?? That must be really weird! lol Welcome

Welcome!!!!

 

I dont know about extremely gun friendly..... They are the 1 state South of Maryland that you would have to store your pistol in a locked case as you travel down to Florida..... They dont accept Non-Resident CCW permits....

 

But I am sure for a S.Carolina resident it is leaps and bounds better then what we have....

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the group.

Yep.. Pawleys Island is just south of Myrtle Beach. Very nice area. Gets too crowded during bike week though.

I hear ya. I remember those days years ago driving with the wife and two kids up to Stanhope/Netcong area. Almost 900 miles. 14 or 15 hours if I remember correctly.

They are the 1 state South of Maryland that you would have to store your pistol in a locked case as you travel down to Florida.....

 

hmm.. I believe you may have SC confused with another state with respect to the glove box having to be locked.

 

http://www.sled.sc.gov/SCStateGunLaws1.aspx?MenuID=CWP

SECTION 16-23-20. Unlawful carrying of handgun; exceptions.

 

Weapon only needs to be in the glove box, console, or trunk if you don't have a CCW and it CAN be loaded. No requirement to be locked.

 

Granted, SC could do better with respect to honoring Non-Resident permits. My comment about being extremely gun friendly was referring more to our "Castle Doctrine" which not only applies to your home, but is extended to an occupied vehicle and place of business. In a justified shooting we cannot be charged or sued.

 

 

I'll be more careful with my choice of words in future. :doh:

 

Cheers,

Richard

Welcome to the forums, good to have ya here :clap:

Still Welcome....

 

 

But the only thing I was referring to was the fact that with my Florida CCW, and being a NJ resident ..... South Carolina is the only state I would have to unholster and pack my firearm away as per the federal rules. ..... as I drove down to Florida...

 

 

 

3. South Carolina

This State DOES NOT Honor Your CCW Permit.

South Carolina IS NOT an Open Carry State.

You must transport your weapon in accordance with the federal firearm transportation statute to legally transport your weapon through this state. Please refer to the federal statute below for more info.

1: This state does not honor CCW Permits from Non-Resident CCW Permit holders. 2: "Can I carry a gun in the glove box of a car" SECTION 16-23-20. Unlawful carrying of handgun; exceptions. (9) a person in a vehicle if the handgun is secured in a closed glove compartment, closed console, closed trunk, or in a closed container secured by an integral fastener and transported in the luggage compartment of the vehicle; however, this item is not violated if the glove compartment, console, or trunk is opened in the presence of a law enforcement officer for the sole purpose of retrieving a driver's license, registration, or proof of insurance;

For more information visit South Carolina's State CCW Legal page

 

 

Sorry if I wasnt clear..... I never meant to say they were an unfriendly gun state, and I really dont think I did....

Hello and welcome, another Jarhead hmm... ha, its all fine with me

Yeah, in that respect, SC needs to get much better. Heck, I think it was either Sept or Dec 08 that we finally got reciprocity with Florida. SC still refuses to give reciprocity to states that don't require training to obtain a CCW. Maybe someday our CCW's will be honored by all states like our DL's. I won't hold my breath for this one.

 

Sorry if I wasnt clear..... I never meant to say they were an unfriendly gun state, and I really dont think I did....

 

Nah, you didn't. Your statement was clear. We just define the friendly part differently. I probably should have included "to it's residents" in my statement. :mrgreen:

Richard

Parris Island is right down the road from me. I'm over there quite often, not only job related but friends attending graduation for their sons & daughters. Lots of memories.
