Outta staters get their pockets picked even for a couple of weeks vacation at the beach. But, ya gotta pay if you wanna play.

I'll compromise in the near term if SC would follow TN's permit scheme, OC or CC with a pistol carry permit. That would get the OC ball rolling and lead to permit-less CC, then eventually permit-less OC.

Remember TX citizens capitulated by legislative overseers by granting OC upon lonestar citizens while maintaining the State’s CC profit center with a small nit ~ OC’g citizens must submit to LE’s knee-jerk, w/o RAS, mandate to provide their “papers” showing the citizen has their concealed privilege permit/license.

Fascinating...
Two LE cruisers in the middle of the extremely busy city streets in front and one behind slowly escorting seven citizens and a handful of youn’s slowly walkin down the multiple streets towards river park.

River park appears to have ...hold on let me recon...

Five cruisers with LEs on bikes

And attendees grew to 16 +/- plus youn's.

Besides OC’g fishing gear visible...no i’m not taking any fotos...

[sidebar - fulfilled a bucket list as i saw the SC Capitol...]

PS: LEs at gate bid everyone good bye told thanks and everyone chit chatted and put firearms away and left. Total of 8 LEs, one in white shirt in a group in the back part of the parking lot still watching the group half heartedly, except one who is watching intently.
