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:

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.

Based on the text you should be okay if I am reading it correctly.

you can call the SC state police and ask them. Easier then trying to decipher cryptic laws

I'd suggest calling each state's State Police and check. Never go by what someone tells you or what your read on the Internet for something like this. Just my opinion.

Ehhh, that would be like saying to call the NJSP and ask if hollow points are legal or not

Down the road, I'd rather be able to say "I called the NJ State Police and talked to Mr/Mrs __________ on 02/25/12 @ 10:45 and they told me _____________" rather than saying, "Well, Slick Willey on the message boards told me ____________________" or "Hey, I read an article on the Internet and it said ________________". Obviosly, it's your choice to do as you please.

We're vacationing in SC this year and I was disappointed to see that all 4 of my permits would not be honored in SC because I'm not a resident of those states.

Well, I didnt say look at message boards. Read the laws, if you cant understand them then find someone who does (lawyer?). You have nothing in court even with a name of somebody. Their advice is not legal advice.

 

The reason I made the comment about NJSP is because they dont even know the law. They have told people that hollow points are illegal so be ready for false info. They may tell you that open carry by a non resident in a vehicle is illegal while it may be totally legal.

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.

I would not trust the state police to know jack about the laws...

Looks like you can keep in your car and Condo... However, if "car jacked" can you use it?

man do we need to over haul all these laws, i wish we had one set of laws for all the states, this is crazy... i cant imagine trying to figure out what state im in and what laws i have to follow... too much...

seems everyone has to be "RIGHT" . frankly scallop i dont give a clam

It's funny, that's exactly what Brian Aitken thought.
