I have a SC non-resident permit and it's recognized in about 28 other states. I'm surprised SC doesn't recognize other state's NR permits.

Uh, which is it?
"House Bill 3094 would allow gun owners to openly carry their weapons on their bodies and in their cars if they have concealed weapon permits."
Color me confused. Aren't these opposites?
As an aside, a great friend lives in Charleston. I'm sure it's no surprise to anyone, but people from Northeast (NY, CT, NJ) are headed there in droves. There are snapping up homes unseen. Developers are increasing prices of future builds almost weekly.
We're actually re-thinking our future plans. Politics, taxes, 2A suck here, but we love the seasons. Woods or beach in less than 3 hours and the bay are reasons we love MD. Most of all friends are here.
Yes, but they wouldn't be the first. Right now both TX and TN have the same requirement for OC.
I hope this passes, a step in the right direction but I have zero faith that it will. South Carolina remains the armpit of the south east.
I've tried my best to like SC, but I'm starting to agree with Stove. Other than visiting friends, I'd probably opt to go somewhere else. I'm more into Western NC.

We'll see but if memory serves it always passes the House, then the Senate just sits on it. I'll have to look up and see if the Senate committee chair is someone who's killed bills in the past.
The article is again full of the same one liners that we've seen for over 30 years now. Doom and gloom and criminals will somehow now find some new opportunity at mayhem with open carry becoming legal

House passed it. Senate is still deliberating it. Four weeks remaining in the session but this is the first of a two-year cycle so they can pick back up next year where they leave off this year.
Didn't get Constitutional Carry this session. House passed it but stuck in committee in the senate. It was also attempted as an amendment to the Open Carry bill in the senate but 8 Republicans got cold feet and didn't vote for it. This is the first year of a two-year session however, so they can pick back up next year without starting from scratch.
The good news is the Open Carry bill did pass and is headed to the governor's desk for signature. If you have a SC CWP (concealed weapons permit - unsure if the name will be changing) you will be able to carry concealed or openly, your choice. The bill also eliminates the $50 fee to acquire a permit. The bill also specifies that the state can not be compelled by the federal government to implement or enforce a law related to an individual's right to keep and bear arms.
A more realistically obtainable goal would be to address reciprocity .
Wait, so the permit is now free?
