SC-ID reciprocity update

[swinokur]

From Gary Slider at handgunlaw.us:

ID Enhanced Now Honored by South Carolina . . . Confirming Information
Idaho and South Carolina have now signed an agreement so that South Carolina will honor the Idaho Enhanced Permit Only. The Idaho State Police have been showing on their site for over a month that reciprocity existed. You can see by viewing the actual agreement that SC signed on 9/20 and ID signed it today 9/24. http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/I...yAgreement.pdf

Previously I had posted about how anyone can make an error. Even some state websites do not have the correct or most up to date info. On the New Hampshire Page at www.handgunlaw.us I posted a date and stated the date was 10/17/2013. I read the date on the paperwork and not only read it wrong but put that wrong date on the page. The date was actually 10/17/2004. I have no idea how I got 2013 out of 2004 but I did. A reader finally got that through my think skull and I saw my error. It has been removed. Again confirm anything you read on the internet. Anyone can make an error. Alabama Officials , Idaho Officials and Myself have made errors that I have seen in the last month.

At www.handgunlaw.us on every state page there are links to state sites in the upper right corner that takes you to that states webpage on their firearm laws/regs on firearms etc.

iD does issue non-resident permits, so this my be great for the South Carolina vacationers!

EDIT: Nevermind ....(per below posts)

 

[ryan_j]

YES!!!

According to the agreement, SC will honor permits issued to citizens of the US... meaning that non-resident ID is good in SC.

However to get an enhanced permit you need one from your home state. Back to square 1.

Where did you see this? Handgun law still says SC does not honor NR permits.

From SC SLED page:

Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, 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.

Perhaps the web site is not updated but according to this and handgun law SC still does not honor NR permits from any state.

I am not 100% sure. Just going by what I read in the agreement. It could be that there is a general statute in SC that honors only res permits.

SLED likely hasn't updated yet since ID isn't listed.

Nope. The enhanced license is available ID residents or residents who hold a resident permit from their home state.

We're SOL.

That's what I said in the last sentence...

 

[swinokur]

I simply provided the cite.

This is correct. The agreement doesn't help us serfs.

I spoke to Gary Slider at handgunlaw. SC does not honor non resident permits by statute, so even if the reciprocity agreement allowed it, if you do not have a resident permit from a state they honor, you're SOL.

 

[Gary Slider]

The only way for a person to legally carry in South Carolina is to have a SC Permit or at this time have a resident permit/license from
AK, AR, AZ, FL, ID, KS, KY, LA, MI, MO NC, ND, NM, OH, OK, TX, TN, VA, WV or WY.

South Carolina along with Michigan, Colorado, Florida, New Hampshire and Maine only honor resident permits from the states they honor. Those 6 states will not honor any non resident permit from the states they honor.

To get an SC Permit you have to be a resident of SC or if you own property in SC that you pay property tax on even if you are not a resident of SC you can get an SC Permit.

Thanks Gary

Or military stationed there (but they are considered to be residents).

ryan J, Correct. I missed that one.
