This sums it up. You'll be good for your trip and will only have to unload and store per FOPA in Maryland if you're passing through.
www.handgunlaw.us will tell you about Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Notably, North Carolina is a must inform state - don't remember about South Carolina.

Can I keep it secure with the magazine in a different part of the car? What about storing it while I am on vacation. Sorry for all the questions, just never have vacationed in SC.
Thanks in advance and be safe.

Just for clarification for SC, I’m able to have it loaded in the glove box/center console? Does the glove box have to be locked? And since I am staying in SC and not just passing through can I lawfully take it from car to condo and store it there? Thanks
