Good evening all-
Just moved here from NY. I promise I am not bringing New York with me. I just paid my vehicle tax today which gave me proof of residency. Can I use this and a passport at an FFL for a hand gun purchase or do I need to wait for the actual license to come in the mail?
Flying to GSP tomorrow from Florida. Have my FL license to carry. I know that SC is constitutional carry, but since SC doesn’t honor FL’s license to carry I just want to make sure I’ll have no trouble flying from GSP back to Florida.
Basically just asking if I’ll need a SC license to carry to be able to fly back to FL with my firearm.
I’m 19, I got my conceal carry permit a few months back when the laws changed. I’m curious if i were to go buy a rifle or shotgun would that waiting period still be into effect or would I be able to leave the day of with the rifle/shotgun.
I mean guns styled like the MP-5, etc. Would it be legal to purchase? I'm not sure whether pistol-caliber smg-style firearms fall under rifles or handguns. Thanks!
Hey all, I’m a FL resident and our state is permitless carry. I turned 21 years of age just after it passed so I did not apply for a concealed carry permit (it is in process now). Will I need one to conceal carry in South Carolina on my vacation as I know you are now permitless as well. The information I find/legal documents leave me uncertain.
Any wisdom on the topic is appreciated!
Hey everyone. I just moved to Charleston not too long ago. I come from the desert where there is no shortage of spots to shoot unlike here. The palmetto gun club looks like a great place to shoot but the sponsor ship requirement is really tough thing for me to do. I’m super awkward and have crazy social anxiety. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to sponsor me. I am a disabled veteran who likes to shoot on my free time. I enjoy long range shooting particularly. Thank you for your time. For any questions feel free to DM me.
Recently, I went to the bass pro shop on woodruff road to purchase a new shot gun. I did all my information for the background check and it ended up coming back as delayed. Does anybody have experience with this? I have purchased firearms before with no issue. About how long should I expect to wait? Come tomorrow, It will have been a week since the purchase.
Looking to have some work done on an Ak later this year, anyone know any decent Smiths?
Hoping someone can help me out here. I’m AD stationed in South Carolina. I am trying to figure out whether or not I can apply for my CWP or if I need to take the class. Also, when I get the CWP, is it considered a non-resident permit?
Just turned 21 last month and as a New Yorker CCW was always out of the picture until now. Felt pretty dumb the other day showed up to Palmetto state armory trying to buy a dagger that I liked and got all the way to check out before they told me it doesn’t comply with New York State gun laws so they couldn’t sell it to me. My question really is, cud I just go through a private sale and when I plan on returning to New York either give it to a friend for a good deal or just sell it. I know if I’m a NYS resident I have to comply to their gun laws but through a private sale and never coming back to the state you would think it might be ok. Probably sounds dumb but trying to figure out my way around this live in a pretty bad area and would make me and my young family feel safer during our days for sure. Completely understand I might sound ignorant but bear with me and any insight helps, if it’s a no chance thing I’d look into flying back to New York and buying a compliant handgun there getting me licenses and doing the 16 hour course. Just don’t understand if I’ve lived here for 4 years why I can’t transfer my residency even though I’ve paid rent, utilities, and receive my paychecks there.
If I go to a pawn shop with somebody older than 21 can they get it for me and be good.? Or if I order it from palmetto state armory can they pick it up for me when it’s ready?
GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) announced Friday that Concealed Weapons Permit Courses sponsored by them (CWP) will soon be available across the state.
In a Facebook post, SLED said the free CWP courses are part of South Carolina’s Constitutional Carry Law, which requires two CWP courses to be offered in each county of South Carolina.
If you would like to find training available in your area, visit www.sled.sc.gov/cwp_courses.

If I have glocks and what were called CT others what would I have to do to move to SC
Coming to Myrtle soon and wanted to bring my CCW just wondering what the caveat behind this was.
My brother in law is a firearms instructor in Ga. I don’t currently own any firearms, but I have inherited a ton from my father, so I’d like to take the handgun safety course. Am I able to take the course from my brother-in-law and use that to apply for the CWP in SC? He says yes, it’s fine but I had read somewhere that SC doesn’t allow out of state classes for this.
I know SC doesn’t require a CWP anymore, but I’d still like to get the permit.
Looking to purchase a handgun in SC with an out of state drivers license, but also as a SC landowner.
With proof of ownership (title?) and address (aka mail with my name tied to address), is this possible, or do I need to transfer over to an SC drivers license? Thanks
Hey, looking to get my .308 sighted in at 100 yards. Looking for an outdoor public range near Fort Mill, Charlotte, Rock Hill. Anyone got any recommendations. Can’t find anything public when I search.
Thanks!
Applied for a concealed carry permit at the end of April. SC is supposed to take up to 90 days. That was up end of July, so I called SLED today to check on it. It’s still showing as pending, they are just backlogged.
Seriously? How long does it take to do a background check?
I’m aggravated.

I need help figuring out what the best/most reliable gun there is to buy in SC. I caught someone breaking into my truck tonight and I stupidly approached them. The end result was me being helpless and held at gunpoint until they sped off in their black Audi SUV. I'm in Greer South Carolina. Any recommendations on a place to go and what to get would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Do yall know of anyone who does stippling south of CLT?
I searched, but it looks like 50/50 on the information side. Can my wife keep her pistol in the center glovebox loaded while traveling to Charleston? She does have an Alabama CCW permit.
Do you need 2 forms of id to buy a gun at a gun shop in sc?
I have the old style drivers license. Is that sufficient or do I need to get Real ID to buy at a gun shop?
