Me and the wife are looking for a home defense gun , I've been overseas for work the last 5 years so it's been awhile since I've owned a gun. I've only hade a m&p shield 9mm. We ruled out a rifle and shotgun, she's worried about over penetration . What should we be looking for?

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.

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 am travelling to sc for work. i am 28 yo from germany and i am familiar with guns and i am member at a local marksmanship in germany. now i cant find any reliable information if i am allowed to lend a firearm from a friend (us citizen) and transport it to a shooting range. I am also wondering if im allowed to buy ammo in a store or am i restricted to buying at a range.

Hello everyone I was wondering what is a good website or forum to buy used handguns? Im 18 so I cant buy from a FFL but I mainly just want to fix guns up and resale them.

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?

Just wondering before doing anything.

Hi everyone My name is Logan I am 18 will be 19 in March I just recently received my handgun, I was wondering if there are any grey areas I should watch for and other laws I do not know about. Thank you

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?

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.
