Important South Carolina CCW Reciprocity Legislation Introduced (RKBA Alert!)

NRA-ILA ^

[BlueOneGolf]

South Carolina only recoginizes CCW Permits from these states:
1. Alaska
2. Arkansas
3. Louisiana
4. Michigan
5. Missouri
6. North Carolina
7. Ohio
8. Tennessee
9. Texas
10.Wyoming

If you are a permit holder from a state that South Carolina doesn't currently recognize, this bill would solve that issue. If you have reason to travel to SC and you wish to continue carrying concealed there, it would be a good idea to contact the SC Legislators and let them know you'd be much more likely to visit their state if this bill passes.

All the contact information for the members of the South Carolina General Assembly can be found at:

Best wishes but SLED is very powerful politically which is bad for a law enforcement agency. They should be politically neutered.

Well, if this passes there'll be no place in the southeast that I cannot carry. Please forgive me if I don't hold my breath.

The NRA took down their reciprocity map, what is the best, updated, one page source for keeping up with reciprocity?

[groanup]

I am almost certain SC recognizes GA's CC permit. Are you certain about that list?

SC most definately does NOT recognize Georgia's Firearms Permit (CCW).

It has to do with Ga not requiring the same level of training as does SC before issuance of license.

Thanks, that will do it.

Thanks. What nonsense. GA doesn't honor SC's either. I guess I'll have to be careful when traveling there.

[ansel12]

Thanks, I like that site even better.

Thanks for the ping.

SC CCW BUMP!

If I recall, Jake Knotts sidetracked this legislation the last time because he provides CCW permit training and this would have diminished his role. Anyone else remember that?

I have a question that is a little bit off topic, but I read somewhere that the state legislature passed a "Stand Your Ground" bill like Florida's. It had gone to Gov. Sanford's office for him to sign. I haven't heard any thing else about this bill.

Anyone have more info?

[BlueOneGolf]

Yes he did. In June 2006 Gov. Sanford signed the "Castle Doctrine" self-defense bill and the "Emergency Powers Protection" bill that prevents local governments from confiscating firearms during a state of emergency.
