What's changed with SC gun laws? "No concealed weapons allowed" signs everywhere.

Been coming to North Myrtle for years. This year all of the sudden on every single building I've entered there's a sign saying "no concealed weapons" on every door. Before it seemed like no one cared. Every hotel we pass has one out front and every single door to virtually every business has one on it now. What gives?

Also, does this mean I can't bring my gun to my condo I own (legally) anymore because they started posting these stupid signs? I'm seeing conflicting stuff on this. Some say it's fine and legal even with the sign if you're going to and from the room and your vehicle, but others say you can't have the gun at all inside the hotel even just in your room.

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.

10 day waiting process

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.

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.

Handgun Safety Course

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.

Buying handgun with OOS Driver License

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

Grrrr.

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.

Gunsmith

Does anyone know of a custom gunsmith? Looking for port work done on a 43x.

I would rather not send it out because I’m terribly impatient. So if anyone knows of somewhere around the Charleston area that would be greatly appreciated!

Please advise me I was held at gunpoint

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.

Carry from Alabama to South Carolina

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.
