Hmmm...so that's still no to PA LCTF holders then.

And the "resident of reciprocal states" seems to preclude those with non-res UT or FL permits, too?

Glad to see they're improving, but ... so close...

Click on the link to see the real changes. Looks like a permit from any state would be acceptable.

Looks promising if it passes.

I believe that this legislation is a direct result from K. Kane lobbying for a reciprocal agreement for Pennsylvania!

I read it that way as well, provided the carrier isn't a SC resident

[clarencecoffee]

I read that only resident permits would be accepted.

Suppose you move to SC with a PA LTCF and established residency in SC, would your out of state LTCF still be honored, assuming this law is passed? I ask because a friend recently relocated to SC, but he's only going to be there for less than 2 years and he doesn't want to go thru the hassle and cost of getting a SC LTCF.

Editing the additions and deletions come up with the verbiage below. I guess it leaves it open to interpretation.

"Valid out-of-state permits to carry concealable weapons held by a resident of another state must be honored by this State. A resident of another state with a valid out-of-state permit to carry a concealable weapon is subject to and must abide by the laws of South Carolina regarding concealable weapons while in South Carolina."

I am a resident of NJ and hold a valid out-of-state permit for Florida and Utah. I would expect to be able to now go from North Carolina to South Carolina carrying legally.

Thanks Olderguy. I updated the original post as well.
