Guns in car when traveling to South Carolina

[teddy12b]

I'll be traveling to South Carolina. I noticed that according to this website: Concealed Carry Permit Reciprocity Maps - USA Carry they don't recognize Indiana's carry permit. So, with that being said what's the best way to legally have something with me to make sure the family is safe. Any suggestions?

I was going to look into pistol in lock box or a rifle taken apart in one bag, with ammo and mags separated in another.

I believe you can have one, accessible and loaded, in your car. But you can not carry on your person. South Carolina needs to get their dumbass act together. They only accept non-res permits from surrounding states. D-bags I tellz ya! Anyone know of anyone in that state trying to change that?

The problem is as I understand it is the SC will accept out of state gun license. The problem is they only recognize a resident license. For example I have a Florida non-resident license. SC recognizes FL but I still could not carry there because I am not a resident of Florida.

OP do a little research but I believe that you can carry a loaded handgun in the center console of your vehicle.

Shouldn't the Concealed Carry Permit Reciprocity Maps - USA Carry show that Ohio now honors Indiana resident permits?

I don't think they update their maps until they are 101% sure they are right. Probably waiting on confirmation from lawyers.

You should be able to carry in the car as long as you meet the guidelines below. I have been looking into the same topic as I will be visiting there in the near future myself. You will not be able to have it on your person.


[B(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;[/B]

Hopefully that will make some progress. I love to visit my aunt and uncle down in Myrtle Beach, I just hate having to disarm while there.

Last time we stayed at Myrtle Beach (2 years ago don't think it's changed) You can have it in your car and transport it into where you are staying without any problems. As a matter of fact when we left early one morning we forgot to remove an extra fully loaded 40 cal. mag. out of the drawer beside the bed and it was found by the cleaning people. They turned it over to the police who contacted me. The police there were MORE than polite and understanding. They even shipped the mag. back to my home address for FREE!

Get a VA non resident permit. Very easy.

I believe the recognize VA's non resident. But i may be wrong. I looked at doing it with my IN...and it seemed that SC was a go then.

The way I understand it they only recognize resident permits. So out of state non-resident aren't, even if they normally recognize that states permits. But I could be wrong
