South Carolina Question
I know SC doesn’t have reciprocity with PA. The family and I are traveling to Myrtle Beach for vacation and stopping in Richmond overnight to break it up. I’m looking for feedback from anyone who knows SC law. I know I can’t conceal carry but what ability do I have with regards to transporting a firearm into the state while on vacation? 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.

Glovebox and console carry are legal so long as they latch upon closure. You also legal to carry the firearm between the vehicle and temporary abode(motel room).
SECTION 16-23-20.
(9) a person in a vehicle if the handgun is:
(a) secured in a closed glove compartment, closed console, closed trunk, or in a closed container secured by an integral fastener and transported in the luggage compartment of the vehicle; however, this item is not violated if the glove compartment, console, or trunk is opened in the presence of a law enforcement officer for the sole purpose of retrieving a driver's license, registration, or proof of insurance.

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.
