>>They treat gun owners from other states like crap.<<

Are you talking about SC or CT? Heh.

CT has no CCW reciprocity...nor will we in my lifetime. :(

South Carolina.

I have an Indiana permit, a non-res Utah permit, plus prior military and I still can’t legally carry in the state.

I wrote off the New England states a long time ago.
