South Carolina (and NC) CCL reciprocity
Starting a new thread since this isn't related to VA. I'm going to be traveling from NC back to FL by car in a couple of weeks so I've been researching reciprocity. I haven't had a chance to read up on NC, but from what I'm seeing here, South Carolina is losing it's reciprocity a few days before I travel. Am I reading this correctly? I will now not be able to legally carry while in SC? I haven't been able to find the actual law that changes this on the NRA-ILA site.
Since most of my trip will be spent in SC, this is kind of a bummer.

South Carolina (and NC) CCL reciprocity
The way I read it is they're stating that its soley in correlation and response with VA only and its decision to revoke reciprocity with SC residents.

Your location is FL, but I'm inferring your permit is from VA?
You can still have weapons in the car during your travel, so unless you plan on stopping a whole bunch, it shouldn't be an issue

Hmm, interesting. That could be. I can't find a single other reference (including reading current legislation) that says a FL CCW won't work in SC. I suppose I could call SLED and see what they say.
To clarify, my CCL is from FL, so clarifying that it still holds reciprocity in SC after March 1st. In other news, looks like I'm good to go in NC. Awesome.

According to SLED, SC and FL maintain reciprocal agreements. Carry on

That's the link I originally posted. However, it looks like I was misreading this:
As of March 1, 2016, South Carolina and Virginia no longer have concealed weapon permit reciprocity.
Now that I read it again, with your guys' help, I see it's saying "SC and VA, between each other, are having reciprocity changes..."
It's that damn reading comprehension. Thanks, all!

doesn't SC only accept permits from residents of that state? so assuming you live in florida and have a florida license you should be fine. My florida license (i live in NJ) is not fine

It's my understanding that SC doesn't accept out of state permits for SC residents, even if that state reciprocates with SC. For example, I have an SC CWP and a Utah CWP, so I can carry in 37 states, including SC. However, if I let my SC permit expire, I would no longer be able to carry here at home, since I'm an in-state resident with an out of state permit. I think that's the only exception to the rule

I'm back in Florida both alive and not in jail after driving through the Carolinas (and GA for less than an hour) so mission accomplished.
