Delayed when purchasing firearms

I’m 30 years old and have bought many different firearms but everytime I get delayed. It’s getting old is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? I do have a one misdemeanor that is over 8 years old but it’s non violent.

Trying to down size collection

Per the title, I am trying to down size my collection and narrow down my caliber variety. I am in upstate GVL SPG area. Any known good shops to sell to? I rather do local private sales just because of the better sale value. Any gun groups or websites worth joining? I want to use the cash to upgrade what I’m keeping.

Thanks in advance

Sales Are Against Reddit Rules

Do not post them. Your account will be shut down by Reddit and you put this sub at risk of being shut down.

I don’t make the rules or like them but it is what it is.

Waiting Period Question

I ordered myself a rifle from PSA on Black Friday and had it shipped to the Greenville store. When I got to the notification that it had arrived and went to go pick it up today, they said that since I wasn’t 21 yet. I was put on a waiting list and that’d they be calling me back when it went through. After reading around I’m kinda confused, can I go in after 3 business days and pick it up without their call, or do I have to wait however long until they call me? Worst thing on my record is a speeding ticket for going 5 over… so I shouldn’t have anything stopping me in that regard.

I just turned 18 and want to restore my grandfathers 30-30

I already know what I need to do to clean it and everything. What I’m wondering is the legality. I have not even a traffic ticket to my name, but if I were pulled over with it on the way to a range, would I get in legal trouble since it’s not in my name? I am completely unfamiliar with our states gun laws, so I’m trying to learn how stuff like this works.

Concealed carry in a state park?

The state park website says permit holders can carry outdoors on state park property. Does anyone know if this is still true since constitutional carry was passed? I don’t have a permit but want to take my gun camping.

Ranges?

Anyone a member of the “take aim shooting range” in pageland sc? How’s the range? I know the rifle range is 430 yards. I’m looking to shoot further than 100 yards in my back yard. Also been looking joining Coleman’s Creek long range shooting range in NC as it’s an hour 30 from me but they have upwards of a mile long range. I know if the Sawmill training complex and the Clinton house those are around 2 hour drives . Any other ranges around the midlands area or with an hour that’s worth joining or going to?

I got my CWP some months back and I’ve also had some time on the range with different handguns. I am just wondering what the exact ruling is for my own and carrying a handgun? Also how could I properly have one transferred to be by either a parent or someone I have close relation to?

Question

I am under 21 and I would like to purchase an ar15 with a 16in barrel. Is there any law that would prohibit me for buying one? Or is it a gray area and I wouldn’t be able to buy one from anyone?

Little Help

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?

Airport laws, flying from FL

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.

Are MP-style firearms counted as rifles, and legal to own at 18?

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!

Conceal carry question.

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!

Palmetto Gun club sponsorship

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.

Delayed background check

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.

CWP Military Exemptions

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?

Private Sale for a New York resident renting in South Carolina

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.
