As far as I know you can't carry in the glove box and centre console. Trunk I am not sure...I have no CCW and have looked around and read the laws and this is what I understand to be my rights and just want some clarification before I pick up my first handgun tomorrow (XD 45 4") until I get my CCW and something a little smaller for concealed carry.
This is what I understand to be legal for me so please tell me anywhere I am wrong!
1. I can carry loaded in my glove box, center console, or trunk (even without a locking mechanism on glovebox?)
You do not have to carry conceal on your own property especially if you have a fence around your property. Outside the front of your house, just be careful of someone calling the police about "Man with a gun" call.2. I can carry concealed on my own property and to and from my vehicle.
On another person's property with permission, I am sure you can...at your work, even if you are allowed, I think you should have your CCW permit first before being able to do so...This is one thing I am not quite clear on.
Just reread the law and I am probably wrong here:
3. Can I carry concealed on another persons property where I have explicit permission from the owner to carry concealed (ie in my girlfriends house or at work).
Thanks in advance!
USA Carry is one of those sites. There are sticky's at the top of each state forum that has links to each states law.Depends on which state you are in. There are sites that will tell you exactly what is legal concerning where you are at.
[...On #3 you can carry open or concealed at work if given permission by the owner...
...You cannot carry concealed or open when the vehicle is not on mentioned property, ie: parking lot, car parked on street in front of house, etc....
Since this is the South Carolina forum SC laws applies. clintj, you are correct in all aspects of you assumptions. On you own property you can carry open or concealed. On #3 you can carry open or concealed at work if given permission by the owner.

(A) It is the intent of the General Assembly to codify the common law Castle Doctrine which recognizes that a person's home is his castle and to extend the doctrine to include an occupied vehicle and the person's place of business.
Looks like they changed this one, yet again.
S.C. Code Section 16-23-20. Unlawful carrying of handgun; exceptions.
Just curious what your reference is for this statement. Case law? Another section? Section 16-23-20(15) doesn't seem to list any limitations other than between your vehicle and another legal location. Not a rhetorical question or being a smart A. Sincerely interested.
S.C. Code Section 16-23-20. Unlawful carrying of handgun; exceptions.

It is unlawful for anyone to carry about the person any handgun, whether concealed or not, except as follows, unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law:
(13) the owner or the person in legal possession or the person in legal control of a fixed place of business, while at the fixed place of business, and the employee of a fixed place of business, other than a business subject to Section 16-23-465, while at the place of business; however, the employee may exercise this privilege only after: (a) acquiring a permit pursuant to item (12), and (b) obtaining the permission of the owner or person in legal control or legal possession of the premises;
While on the subject...In the state of Pennsylvania where open carry is legal. If you open carry and get into your car while you OC you are now considered "concealed carry"
therefore you need a CCP or you are breaking the law. Maybe this applies in other states that allow open carry. Just a heads up. You avoid a lot problems lie this if you have your CCP.
