like said already read up on the laws in SC and as long as SC accepts your permit then you will be good. if you are driving and the states you pass through do not recongize your permit the best thing to probably do is have it locked in a case in the trunk and try not to stop unless needed. FOPA protects you while traveling as long as the sate you are coming from and going to accept your gun permit (that is the way i understand it. someone can correct me if i am wrong)
