[align=left]Does anyone know if this is still infact true? This creates a very unfriendly enviornment for gun carriers. I visit Charleston often , have my conceal permit as well , however I open carry most of the time when im at home and would like to know if I'm just setting myself up for trouble by taking my firearm to Charleston due to all these places that I can not take them... No way really to tell what building are city owned or what property is city owned... Very frustrating...[/align]
