South Carolina Reciprocity Measure Signed by Governor!
NRA-ILA ^ | 06/20/2008

Posted on 06/20/2008 8:04:06 AM PDT by mikebeam

On Monday, June 16, Governor Mark Sanford (R) signed H 3212, the Right-to-Carry reciprocity bill. In spite of an extremely crowded legislative schedule, the South Carolina House and Senate came to terms on a bill that will extend gun rights, not only for citizens of the Palmetto State, but for visitors to South Carolina as well.

When I got my non-resident Florida permit, they accepted my military service in lieu of any other “training”.

"When I got my non-resident Florida permit, they accepted my military service in lieu of any other “training”."


And I got credit for being a retired LEO, and for my military service.


The point is there is a requirement in Florida for training.


Joe said ... " ... My home state of Florida, for example, doesn't make the training mandatory, so it may or may not end up on the list. "


The facts are that Florida does have a requirement for weapons training to obtain a CCW.

I called about this yesterday, as a georgia resident I am thrilled about this!

You shouldn't be; it doesn't apply to you. Only states whose permits require training get reciprocity with SC. And you have to be a resident of a state to get the reciprocity in SC, so a nonresident permit from, say, Florida or Utah doesn't help you either.

It will unfortunately be a while, if ever, before Georgians can carry legally in SC without owning property there.

Why not be happy? It is a step in the right direction. I’m happy whenever any gun restrictions are lifted. besides this on doesn’t affect me, I never go to South Carlolina :)

Congrats to South Carolina. Though it's sad that 'permits' are needed to exert your God given right, it's a step forward from what was...

Utah runs a background check on permit holders daily! LOL. We require training. Maybe I'll have to go visit the Palmetto state after all... maybe a Nascar vacation :o)

Here, can you carry in a bank, or any open-to-the-public business (i.e. bar, mall, etc.) or any public school... just not jails, courts, churches who go on the record or post signs, or fed proscribed areas. We probably shouldn't advertise, but Utah's laws are likely only second to Vermont and Alaska.

Oh, we're a cheap date, too. Permits to out of staters has gotten to be an area of concern, due to the heavy load it puts on BCI to process them. I have no idea if the rates will increase, or the non-resident permits will decrease. Should be an interesting next session.

Last year's attempt to carry hot in your vehicle without a permit barely failed... we'll go after it again this year. We did extend the castle doctrine to occupied cars in a different manner in that lethal force is acceptable in defense of an attempt at carjacking. Texas still wins, hands down, on the legality of using lethal force to protect property. I don't think that's gonna happen here any time soon.
