There's a sticky thread at the top of the forum page (SLED CWP).
That link will take you to a page that shows what state's permits have reciprocity with SC (NOTE: SC does not recognize non-resident permits). On the left side of that page in copper color you can then go to "SC Gun Laws". |

I should be good, I have a Va resident permit. |

You have a duty to inform if an officer identifies themselves by law enforcement AND asks for ID.
You can carry in establishments that serve alcohol, but you can not drink in them while you are carrying. There is no law stopping you from throwing your carry piece in your glove box, go in and get a drink, and then when you leave putting your gun back on. If you are involved in a shooting, your BAC level may be taken and by law can be factored in to the investigation, however. You can't carry in state & federal buildings, polling places, schools, churches.. blah blah blah. Rest stops are excluded by law from this restriction. No Concealed Carry signs do carry the weight of law here, but they have to be the exact size, form, and placement on the building an every entrance as prescribed by law, otherwise they do not carry the weight of law. With a CWP you can carry in any open or closed compartment in your vehicle, without a CWP you can only carry in closed compartments such as glove, trunk, etc.. You need express consent from a homeowner or lessee to carry into someone's home, this does not apply to public businesses. |

It’s been a long time since I’ve been on there, but the site: handgunlaw.us is a good way to look at all states laws together in one place. Just realize that what’s on any website (other than a states official website) can have incorrect or outdated information.
Must inform on official contact from law enforcement. Not sure if simply when they ask for ID. And SB 308 added that concealed weapons permit holders can carry under their seat as well as any open or closed storage area in the vehicle. Look up the signage requirements. They’re very specific. Many businesses have incorrect signage or it is not easily visible. Take that for what it is and decide accordingly. We don’t want your visit to be marred by being the test case in court for whether or not a business had the correct signage. There is no open carry. |

Pistol ar is still just a pistol. Handgun rules apply.

This is typically measured from the baseplate of an inserted mag or butt of the grip to the muzzle ...
(5) "Concealable weapon" means a firearm having a length of less than twelve inches measured along its greatest dimension that must be carried in a manner that is hidden from public view in normal wear of clothing except when needed for self-defense, defense of others, and the protection of real or personal property. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is typically measured from the baseplate of an inserted mag or butt of the grip to the muzzle ... I'm reading the greatest dimension on an AR pistol would be from the muzzle to the end of the buffer tube. Even if it is muzzle to back of the grip, most all AR pistols would still be too long. |

To conceal it under SC CWP law, yeah. It has to be under 12" per the section of law that I quoted. Put the end of a tape measure on the muzzle, hold the tape at 12 inches, and swing an arc across the firearm. It is not legal under SC CWP law to be carried concealed if anything about the firearm exceeds that 12 inches as you swing that arc. |

Other pistols must in the console, trunk, glove compartment OR in a closed case |

My understanding is no loaded rifle unless you're on the road adjacent to the property you are hunting. As for the ar pistol, that is the question no one seems to have a definitive answer for. |

My understanding is no loaded rifle unless you're on the road adjacent to the property you are hunting. As for the ar pistol, that is the question no one seems to have a definitive answer for. (A) It is unlawful for a person to hunt from a public road or railroad right-of-way if the person does not have permission to hunt the land immediately adjacent to the public road or railroad right-of-way. (B)(1) For purposes of this section, "hunting" includes: (a) taking deer by occupying stands for that purpose; or (b) possessing, carrying, or having readily accessible: (i) a loaded centerfire rifle; or (ii) a shotgun loaded with shot size larger than number four. (2) For purposes of this section, "loaded" means a weapon within which any ammunition is contained. (3) For purposes of this section, the terms "possessing", "carrying", and "having readily accessible" do not include a centerfire rifle or shotgun which is contained in a: (a) closed compartment; (b) closed vehicle trunk; or a (c) vehicle traveling on a public road. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The law is pretty poorly worded, but it sounds like traveling in a vehicle is excluded from the restriction. (A) It is unlawful for a person to hunt from a public road or railroad right-of-way if the person does not have permission to hunt the land immediately adjacent to the public road or railroad right-of-way. (B)(1) For purposes of this section, "hunting" includes: (a) taking deer by occupying stands for that purpose; or (b) possessing, carrying, or having readily accessible: (i) a loaded centerfire rifle; or (ii) a shotgun loaded with shot size larger than number four.

Interesting. Sounds like the law is mainly to stop poaching. |
