My folks just moved to a town just outside of Charleston on the way to Kiahwa (sp?).  My dad is psyched that the rules for SC are completely different from NY.  Where should he go to purchase his first handgun?  Does all he need is a valid state drivers liscence?  Thanks.

I use East Coast Guns which is located in the back of East Coast Power Sports in Summerville.

Best prices and Chuck is a great guy to deal with.

Let your Pops know that there is a gun show in Ladson this coming weekend.  Lots of good dealers will be there with fair prices.

+1 stay away from ATP. Carolina Rod and Gun is a great little shop in West Ashley. I highly recommend them.

Man I use to always buy from Carolina Rod and Gun when I was stationed in Charleston in the early 90's. Glad to hear they are still around.

No, he must also register and vote "Republican" as SC is not NY.

Yep.

No registration of any kind for any firearm (Class II excepted).

He can carry a loaded handgun in his console or glovebox.

SC is shall-issue for concealed weapon permits.

Castle doctrine protects him if he needs to defend himself in his home.

A whole lot different from NY.
