I would highly recommend that you peruse the South Carolina forums to get up to speed with their laws regarding CCW. They are a little different than what we have here in Virginia. Different as in not as lenient as I understand.
Could you elaborate on how they are not a lenient on concealed carry?
This is the restrictions on concealed carry in SC. One additional thing is the No Weapons Allowed signs if legal mean what they say and you can be arrested without them having to ask you to leave first.
(M) A permit issued pursuant to this section does not authorize a permit holder to carry a concealable weapon into a:
(1) police, sheriff, or highway patrol station or any other law enforcement office or facility;
(2) detention facility, prison, or jail or any other correctional facility or office;
(3) courthouse or courtroom;
(4) polling place on election days;
(5) office of or the business meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special purpose district;
(6) school or college athletic event not related to firearms;
(7) daycare facility or pre-school facility;
(8) place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law;
(9) church or other established religious sanctuary unless express permission is given by the appropriate church official or governing body; or
(10) hospital, medical clinic, doctor's office, or any other facility where medical services or procedures are performed unless expressly authorized by the employer.
You just mentioned several, thank you.
Don't get me wrong. I love South Carolina and it is my intent to hopefully move there some day in the not to distant future (don't worry, I'm hard core Southern bred). I just got back from your fine state two days ago.
As for CC, can you carry into banks and ABC stores or is that a no-no?. Also, I don't think you've gotten OC through your legislature yet have you?
And I have this question. Many times you see the infamous gun with the red line diagonally through it on doors to motel offices. Does this refer just to the office or can you carry into your room for the time you have rented it?
