Good news

I want to know where all these states are giving licenses to "convicted stalkers" and domestic abusers? I could start on a rant but that is the topic of another thread.

Nice, I would love to carry when I go visit my brother.

South Carolina is a State I visit every year. This would be a great thing. I would also like to see W. Virginia included as well. -Jason

I think West Virginia is included, but would need to check. All the reciprocity changes are good but I will still maintain my FL and UT nonresidents. Just never know when stuff might change.

 

[SmileDocHill]

I read it twice and if it said I didn't see it. If it gets passed, when would it take effect? I am going to south Carolina this summer.

I just checked, you are right. For some reason I didn't think it was. Or maybe, it wasn't when I was there 7 years ago. -Jason

SECTION 2. Section 23-31-215(N) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 223 of 2016, is further amended to read:

"(N)(1) Valid out-of-state permits to carry concealable weapons held by a resident of a reciprocal state, or a state that recognizes and honors a valid South Carolina permit, who is twenty-one years old or older must be honored by this State, provided, that the reciprocal state requires an applicant to successfully pass a criminal background check and a course in firearm training and safety. A resident of a reciprocal state carrying a concealable weapon in South Carolina with a valid out-of-state permit to carry a concealable weapon is subject to and must abide by the laws of South Carolina regarding concealable weapons while in South Carolina. SLED shall maintain and publish a list of those states as the states with which South Carolina has reciprocity. The age twenty-one requirement does not apply to a member of the active or reserve military, or a member of the National Guard.

SECTION 5. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

According to handgunlaw.us "Indiana Honors all other states Permit Licenses"

This will be good to see on the handgunlaw.us map. SC sticks out like a sore thumb in the southeast.

Unless I'm mis-reading, Indiana LTCH will NOt be recognized, since Indiana does not require a class.

This sounds like an "if you recognize our permit/license we'll recognize yours" bill. The story was complete with a quote from the Vanessa Summers of SC convinced that license/permit holders will come to SC to commit crimes. Maybe someone should point out SC has enough of their own SVFs who don't obey the laws already.

Thanks! BFG. I have to admit I was relying on the quote. I will have to watch for things like that when I copy/paste.

I wish this would get passed now. I'm heading that way this week

 

[GNRPowdeR]

Wife and I own some property in SC via a timeshare. This would be a welcome change!

 

[SmileDocHill]

Any word on whether this made it to the governors desk? I'm there next week.

If you're property owners, aren't you already eligible to receive a SC non-resident permit? Or do timeshares not constitute ownership of real property?

What I was told is that owning property one week per year didn't count. I plan on calling back in a few weeks, since it has already been a few weeks...
