Currently on a trip from SC to northeast and it is obvious that having a firearm is a fruitless exercise in not following the laws of several states for gun carry concealed or even in car. Even in SC, there are sufficient restrictions that do not exactly make it the easiest or most lawful way to...

Sorry for probably asking redundant question on gun carry. Will travel by car thru several states that do not, according to CC map, allow any reciprocating CCWP with my SC permit; these states are MD, PA, NJ and NY, including NY City. Am I allowed to have loaded firearm (secure in glove...

In the 7/30 issue of Charleston's Post & Courier, there were, by happenstance, updates on two firearm/defense cases that both occurred in Bluffton, SC. In Case 1, a judge denied a motion to drop a manslaughter charge against a Bluffton man who shot his unarmed neighbor on his front stoop. The...

Am I correct in assuming that sighting with my dominant eye is correct? I recently realized that I am right-handed but left eye dominant.

At around 8:30 in morning on April 13, two wannabe thieves entered a home by apparently slipping under a partially opened garage door. Unfortunately for them the owner was home, heard noises, got his handgun, and when he saw one of the perps he fired and killed him--no imminent danger per se but...

It appears that a bill that will liberalize (hate that word) will be coming to SC CC laws allowing for more permissive CC.

First off--is a simple assault considered a felony?---ie: someone puts their hands on you or your wife. If so, I understand that a citizen's arrest can be made in SC and probably most other states. Now the hard part. In SC, if the arrest is at night, you have the right to maintain that arrest by...

Anyone interested in a situation where everything that could go wrong did go wrong when brandishing, kindly do internet search for Island Packet newspaper in Hilton Head, SC and then prompt/search for news on "Bluffton christmas eve shooting". You will see articles and forum comments (Disqus...

So there I was, stopped by an LEO for passing a red light. He asked for my license and registration and insurance card and I also handed him my CCWP. He asked me if I was carrying a firearm and I told him I had a revolver on my hip, and a mouse gun on my ankle and a 45 semi in the glove...

Just received an Uncle Mikes kydex paddle holster for my J frame S&W 642 for under $20. May not be as "thin" as some of the other custom kydex holsters I have or have seen but it is still very light. quite secure and substantial in design, infinitely adjustable, allows for belt wear with change...

In about 2 weeks I'm travelling from SC, thru GA to FL. I have an SC CCWP. From the forum maps, I understand that CC in FL is OK but not GA. Just a confirmation--travelling thru GA, I can still have loaded firearm in car as long as it is locked up in say the glove compartment or the trunk--am I...

Looking for inputs on strictly add-on padding for that sensitve area between your thumb and forefinger that seems to take the brunt of recoil. I am aware of grips that extend up to that area but am thinking more about padding add-ons just for that sensitive location. Comments? Thanks y'all.

Hey Y'all: Could not, with my limited computer skills, search out threads on point shooting so I'm asking. I'm pretty good target shooting at range with my 38 and my 380 but would like to appreciate comments and suggestions on how to develop a true ability to just point shoot with these weapons...

In the 1/15 issue of the Charleston Post and Courier (postandcourier.com) pg. 3B, the sheriff has ruled that a shooting death on a McClellanville road was self-defense. The main point of my post is the fact that the sheriff ruled this self-defense based on investigators who examined all the...

Reported in Charleston Post and Courier yesterday that an LEO spotted a speeding car and flashed blue to pull over. Instead the car sped up and actually spent some time in the middle turn lane bringing up dirt and debris as it sped out from the LEO. Jurisdictional change caused a new LEO to take...

Thanks to y'all for prompting me on this sub-topic under the CC thread. I asked the question "why no holster discussion" and received a welcome answer. I pocket carry a Keltec P3AT and have found that the usual design of most of the holsters just float around in my pocket and give me some angst...

Hope everyone is enjoying the World Series. Take a good look and notice NO American flags flying. Excuse me while I leave my computer and puke.

Now that I have weapons and have a CCWP, every so often I think about a "what if" as I go about my life. Home defense is a lot easier than being out in public. Castle Doctrine in SC is pretty clear, even if the issue of deadly force for protection of property and not self is arguable. How about...

A 19 year old was "rummaging" around a pickup truck in someone's yard in the middle of the night with the apparent iintention to find some treasure, if not the truck itself. The older gentleman in the home heard noises, grabbed his gun and before calling 911, went outside to confront the 19...

I'm sure this has been answered and can probably be gleaned from the CC laws; pardon me for asking but I want to state my simple questions on CC and CCWP in SC clearly. If you DO NOT have a CCWP, you CAN carry the gun CC or non CC loaded or unloaded in your house. You CANNOT carry it CC on...
