Off the top of my head:
No restaurants that serve alcohol.
No publicly owned buildings
No medical facilitys.
While traveling, you can't just put your gun anywhere in your car. If not on you, keep it in your glove compartment, center console, or in the luggage area. DO NOT keep it in the map pocket or under your seat.
If pulled over, you must inform the officer you are carrying.

in florida you can carry in restaurants that serve alcohol just don't sit at the bar part
you can carry in public owned buildings but if the owner or management clocks you carrying and asks you to leave you best just leave
and if you're pulled over you don't have to divulge you are carrying unless the officer specifically asks you

So even though SC does NOT honor other states' CCW permits, you can drive through the state while CC as long as you have a permit from your home state? That doesn't sound right. I'm getting ready to drive from GA through SC to NC, and I need to know this too.

PackingPastor, you are incorrect. First, South Carolina does honor permits from some states. See this page from Handgunlaw.us: http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/southcarolina.pdf
This site provides a great summary of handgun laws for each state. Second, to carry CC in South Carolina, you must have a permit from South Carolina or a state South Carolina honors. With that said, while in South Carolina, you can carry in your car without a permit as long as it is in your glove compartment, center console, or trunk. If you don't have a trunk, you can keep it in the area that luggage is normally stored (in the very back area of a SUV) as long as the gun is in a latchable container. Not 100% certain, but I believe you can also carry it from your car to your hotel room if you go directly to the room without side trips.

Not mine! Can I carry in my car as I drive from GA to NC as long as my gun is locked in the trunk? Does it have to be unloaded and separated from the ammo?

I had a friend advise me to carry as normal and just not say anything about it if stopped for some reason. I'm hesitant to do that.

You can carry loaded in glove compartment, center console, or in a sealed/latchable container in luggage compartment. No problem (see Page 5 of the link in my earlier post); however, I wouldn't have it in my glove compartment and open it infront of an officer (for registration and insurance cards) without telling him first.
If you choose to have the weapon on you without a permit and don't tell the officer, consider this. When he runs your license plate, Georgia may inform him that you have a CWP and raise the officer's suspicions.

Why would GA inform SC about a GA Firearms License, when SC won't honor GA's or AL, or MS.

Officer safety. All I am saying is if you get pulled over and the officer runs your Georgia tag and your Georgia drivers license, the system may also have your information tagged that you are a CWP holder. I don't know if Georgia actually does this, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I could have sworn that MS had reciprocity with SC. At least MS honors SC. I sure wish GA & AL did. :frown:

I had to check on USACarry maps since I thought SC honored the permit at one time.
I remembered seeing Jake Knotts ranting about states that "will let anyone carry a gun"
SC will not honor any other state's CC permits that doesn't require firearms usage and safety training.
Edit...
Checked MS Firearms permit...(seems like GA they honor those states that honors theirs).
With what other states does Mississippi have reciprocity? (Whose permits do we honor, who honors ours?)
Mississippi has Reciprocal Agreements with : Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan,Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, & Wyoming.

SC LEO's can't even do that here legally. SLED cannot provide information about SC CWP holders without an official investigation or court order.
There was even a big issue raised when SLED tried to link their electronic fingerprint database with the CWP fingerprint database, fortunately stopped.
The SC pictures and signatures used to be individual requirements too but we lost out to SLED as "non-integrated" cost savings.

Me too.
I could swear that MS was honored with full reciprocity a couple years ago.

I wouldn't listen to your friend. He clearly wants to see you in prison.

I don't think I would follow your friends "BAD" advise, you need to know the gun laws of every state you are traveling through and how they honor your states permit. I remember a few months back a couple incidents in NYC, the people had permits from their own states and ended up in jail because they were carrying.

I thought it meant "on your person" not just your body...i.e. purse, briefcase, satchel,
