Transporting handgun in SC

In SC the law says handguns must be in the glove box or trunk. My ruger super redhawk will not fit in my glovebox and my truck has no trunk. How do I legally transport?
 

In a guncase behind the "rear" most seat or in your luggage should be fine.

The important thing in SC is: "NOT" to have your firearm readily accessible.

When I carried mine I made sure that I had a Hunting and Fishing licenses and I put it in a case with my rifles. If your going hunting or fishing in SC there is no restrictions on how to transport a weapon by a licensed hunter or fisherman. I carried a MD36 in a shoulder holster way before CWP existed using that law. I always carried a collapsible rod and reel and some lures. I was always going to and from fishing. There are ponds, rivers and Lakes everywhere.
