SC Constitutional Carry

press1280 · Mar 9, 2017

New bill was filed and was quickly pushed through by a House committee http://www.postandcourier.com/polit...cle_0ba38834-04d4-11e7-ba0f-93ca2f601dfd.html
Looks like a incredible bill and if it gets through is a YUGE win. It's CC and OC, doesn't look to have a residency requirement, and even if it does it also contains a universal permit recognition provision.
Bill is here: http://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess122_2017-2018/bills/3930.htm

Awesome, Have family in SC, and visit Myrtle beach from time to time, their ridiculous carry law and lack of reciprocity was weird for an otherwise pro-gun "red" state. With a PA resident and FL non-res permit, the only legal option is "glovebox carry", which keeps it out of reach when it's likely to be needed, and encourages theft and firearms ending up with criminals.

Hope it passes, Myrtle Beach has become a regular destination for us.

On road trips to FL, SC is the only state where you must move your CCW to the glovebox or console.

passage would be yuge.

The wife and I always spend a couple of days there a year. We also always travel through there to FL so this will be great for us if it goes through.

A friend and former coworker is originally from SC and wanted to carry there while visiting family. She'll enjoy this good news as much as the rest of us.

Becoming more and more obvious everyday that Maryland is backward minded when it comes to issues like self-defense, dealing with crime, taxation, and how it treates businesses.

Minuteman · Mar 10, 2017

Hogan has done a lot to turn this around, even in the face of overwhelming opposition and taking flak for not doing even more from our own side. If we could just oust a few career politicians in Maryland; great things could happen.

Vote out the bums in the Democrat only Primary election in 2018!

This continues to move! Passed another House committee 15-7, onto the full House: http://www.thestate.com/news/local/crime/article139910313.html

If this gets through it would be the upset of the year. Glad to see some pols down there refusing to buckle to the BS of SLED.

Another domino falls, (we hope). The more that fall the more Maryland looks backward and outta step. I like that.

rockstarr · Mar 23, 2017

im really curious as to how far this makes it.

Still pending a full vote in the House but it now has 50 co-sponsors (124 total members in the House): http://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess122_2017-2018/prever/3930_20170322.htm

Seems to be picking up a lot of momentum. I don't know how things are in the SC Senate, or if it could be blocked by a House speaker.

If you own property there now, you can get an SC permit.

Neutron · Mar 25, 2017

I own a rental property there and I'm going to try and get my permit when I go down in May or June. I'm a veteran so I don't have to take the shooting part of the training,just the classroom stuff. I think I have a trainer that will do a one on one training so I don't have to go through the whole class. Those classes are usually held on a Saturday which is tough for me to schedule.

Edit: House speaker is now a co-sponsor of the bill, so it looks like it should get through the House unless there's a ton of defectors among the GOP ranks.

Pretty cheap permit (50 bucks). Disabled veterans apparently don't have to pay the fee.

here's the non resident tax form.

Fingers Crossed...

It would be really nice to have a clear path to Florida (after crossing the Potomac, of course).

Not going to hold my breath, but I certainly will cross my fingers!

at least in SC you don't have to move it into your trunk.

Loaded glove box or console carry is legal.
