    WTF Minnesota

    I'm going into the boundary waters. Thanks for denying my ****ing right to have a handgun on me to protect myself. **** you Minnesota. **** you.

    Yup. That change happened about a year ago, IIRC. Rhino was displeased about it as well. ETA: The change was to stop recognizing the Utah permit. I don't think MN ever recognized the LTCH.

    The range is in error.

    South Carolina Law Enforcement Division


    South Carolina Reciprocity
    RECIPROCITY
    Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho (Enhanced Only), Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota (Enhanced Only), Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia (21 years of age and older) and Wyoming.
    Residents of reciprocal states who hold permits issued by their states of residence may carry concealed firearms in South Carolina, but must abide by the restrictions in the South Carolina CWP law. For that reason, out of state residents of reciprocal states should familiarize themselves with restricted carry locations and other provisions of South Carolina law posted on this website. South Carolina permittees who carry firearms in reciprocal states are likewise responsible for familiarizing themselves with the applicable laws and regulations of the reciprocal state. Web sites of those states may be accessed by selecting the desired state name listed above.

    Handgunlaws.com says SC does not recognize IN however looking at this SC gun range site they say SC recognizes all shall issue states. What gives?

    I downloaded an app for a couple of bucks...... "ccw" in the Apple app store. Very impressed with it. It shows all the states and who they honor and local laws..very handy while traveling.

    Here's a question -

    Family going to be traveling to Tennessee, but he doesn't have an Indiana LTCH yet.

    Can he transport the gun from Indiana to Tennessee and have in their cabin for 4 days or so? Is it like Indiana where you can have it in your residence without an LTCH? He doesn't plan to carry it, just have it in a cabin. Nightstand gun, essentially.

    You should call the Tennessee State Police and ask them.

    I would always call those "officially responsible" myself. It should be the TN State Police or you could look for another agency online.

    I've tried this route with other States and have been extremely disappointed for two reasons. 1) Multiple have actually given me incorrect information (including area LEOs) 2) One representative simply suggested that I "just leave it at home" and "we have a peaceful area, so you really should be safe."

    Obligatory, IANAL statement and YMMV.

    I've looked through things and I feel like the answer to your question is, "it depends"...

    Does the property mgmt group have a policy against keeping things on the property? Signs hold the weight of Law in TN.
    (4) An individual, corporation, business entity, or government entity that, as of January 1, 2015, usedsigns to provide notice of the prohibition permitted by subsection (a) shall have until January 1, 2018, toreplace existing signs with signs that meet the requirements of subdivision (b)(3).(c) (1) It is an offense to possess a weapon in a building or on property that is properly posted in accordancewith this section.

    If they are they going to Land Between The Lakes, they have different / specific regulations.

    Those are some of the main things I've seen, other than the typical transport of empty, in a case (suggest you think TSA / flying w a firearm), separated from the ammo, etc...

    Good thought, but as noted, police do not always give the correct answer. I'd contact an attorney licensed to practice in TN and put them on retainer for the duration of the trip, based on the advice they gave me.

    $100 or even $200 is cheap insurance, unless the case law has shown, or statutory law explicitly states that that gun will be OK in that place.

    Seems it's gotten rather costly to CYA while exercising such a fundamental right here in the U.S.

    It is. But if money has to be spent (and while yes, you *can* argue that point, it's still wise to CYA,) personally, I'd rather spend it to stay out of trouble, rather than to *get* out of trouble.

    I reached out to TN .gov and posed the question. Got a quick response from the "Gun Permit Division" of Tennessee Safety and Homeland Security.

    He may carry in his vehicle without a permit as long as he is legal to purchase the weapon and is not otherwise federally prohibited from owning or possessing firearms. Your vehicle is considered an extension of your home. He may also have it in his cabin as it will be a temporary residence. He may not carry on his person without a valid permit from his state.

    I hope this answers your questions.

    I assumed as much. The "temporary residence" is what I was mostly unclear on, and this clarification helps.
