Legal Concealed Carry in South Carolina as an Indiana Resident

[sloppyjoe]

Has anyone here found a way to legally concealed carry in South Carolina while being an Indiana resident? It looks like you can only apply for a South Carolina permit if you own property there based on what is on their government website.

It makes me wonder whatever happened to the state of Massachusetts and South Carolina?

My go-to for such information is handgunlaw.us.

Per http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/southcarolina.pdf, it looks like we're SOL.

You and me both Coach. The events of 19 April 1775 wouldn't happen with today's Taxachusetts. SC is the odd one out in the southeast as far as Hoosiers carrying lawfully.

Maryland is also south of the Mason Dixon....

I think South Carolina just wants you to take a proficiency test first, because they honor NC licenses, but it seems weird that they dont let out of state people take the exam. I have friends and family in SC, so I go every year, but it sucks driving through places like Columbia with no protection.

We could all pitch in and buy a small plot in SC.

Haha good idea!

Actually I wonder if that's a possibility? I'm assuming plots come with a deed?

Any land acqisition that i've heard of has some form of ownership documentation. If the rule is that you have to own land in SC, then if we formed a group and bought some horrid useless piece of ground, we'd be SC landowners.

I bet the headache of managing that / taxes / lawyer to add people etc would far outweigh the advantages of a handful of people who'd be up for it?

Swampland / marshes / DNR regulated land but homeowner purchased legal?

Looks like they might not allow a group purchase of land. The form for proof is here http://www.sled.sc.gov/documents/CWP/CWP Nonresident Property Tax Form.pdf

Looks like they also dont recognize reciprocity for non resident licenses from any state which is unfortunate. I thought maybe we could get Kentucky non resident licenses since SC has reciprocity with Kentucky resident licenses.

Form doesn’t differentiate betwixt one owner or an LLC,LLP, or....

So it looks as if an LLP, LLC, or some other multi-member non entity could actually do this?

And then the LLC can carry. Unfortunately, lacking opposable thumbs, I'm not sure how it would grip the gun and pull the trigger.

Oh wait, didn't Mitt Romney say that corporations are people too?

So my nephew could sell me a piece of his property say 1 sq ft with a proper deed I'd be able to get a permit. Maybe someone in SC should start selling 1 sq ft peices just for this purpose.

It shouldnt be this stupid. I wonder if we could write a big letter to Tim Scott or Henry McMaster with all of our support to try to get Indiana reciprocity either accepted or to qualify for us to take an exam to get a non resident license.
