No carry in SC

[dstegjas]

Like Blume357 said, it shows that a resident from Tennessee can carry in South Carolina.

However a non-resident can not. I am guessing that there is a lot of states that follow that rule of thought. So I think you’re good and your wife will be happy.

I went to the trouble of going to the S.C. law enforcement sight and copying their map, here it is:

That map shows States that I know to be wrong, at least different from other maps.
Alabama and Colorado recognize my permit.

Gary Slider does a fantastic job with keeping up to date with handgun laws. Bear Paw Jack mentioned his website which is my go to site when traveling. Here's BPJ's recommendation in a clickable link:

Thanks, that is a great site.

"In terms of reciprocity, South Carolina honors resident permits from states that recognize South Carolina permits, provided that the reciprocal state requires an applicant to successfully pass a criminal background check and a course in firearm training and safety. Some areas are off-limits, including schools and courthouses."

It was just a few short years ago that SC finally recognized their neighbor, GA. GA must be an exception to the rule above because GA doesn't require any courses in firearm training and safety, nothing.

I live in AZ and while AZ is full blown constitutional, I still got a CCW permit. When doing so, I said I travel and while some of the states I go through are constitutional, some are not. The ones that are are mostly for their residents only. FWIW, AZ ix a true constitutional state. You come from TN and you can carry, no permit needed. The big problem is every state looks at CCW differently from other states. It's too bad one state doesn't recognize another states permit just like they do driver's licenses.

I think I'm going to have to repeat myself on this threat as it goes on because some folks who open it only read the OP's statement and none of the replies... I have as well as a number of other posters pointed out that:

SC does honor a Tenn. permit if that person is a resident of Tenn.

 

[beentheredone]

Yes, it does. And here's a reminder: NEVER TRUST AN ONLINE FORUM FOR LEGAL ADVICE.

I advised USACarry.com that their map had a glitch in it (see my prior post in this thread). They got back to me and advised it was fixed and also advised me that a TN resident permit is honored in SC.

…..some folks who open it only read the OP's statement and none of the replies...

And the OP hasn’t been back to find out he got some bad info either.

@volshooter have you seen this?

 

[volshooter]

I only get the chance once a month or so to have enough time to get online. I was looking at a South.. Carolina state website. I'll revisit it for sure!!
Got regular work and 3 remodels going on, all for me. Plate is full and I stay tired. Just little time for things I want to do.

 

[volshooter]

Wonder if it has to something with the recent changes in TN laws? residents can now carry open without a permit. I have a permit and took the course but a background was never involved, unless I purchase a firearm.
Oh believe me I'll be a digging in on this.

Isn't south Carolina about to go constitional carry too?

 

[beentheredone]

Constitutional carry is under consideration in the SC legislature. But there has been mutual recognition of concealed carry licenses between SC and TN for many years.
