Places you cannot carry in SC even though it is not posted.

[Frost]

I think a comprehensive list of places one cannot carry concealed in SC that do not need to post a sign is needed.
It sure would be nice if one of our CCW instructors would list them for us.

The Dept. of Motor Vehicles in Mt.Pleasant. The one off the Isle of Palms Connector..

They have a metal detector and a guard at the door...

You can imagine my suprise when I walked to the door...and I was on the bike...had no place to stow the piece...Sucked...

Any Federal building
Post office
Schools
Doctors or Hospital without consent of an officer of the establishment
Anyplace that serves Alcohol
Anyplace that has a legally compiant posted sign ("Gun Free Zone", small stickers on the door are not legally binding. But they can ask you to leave and you have to obey)
Any court buildings

I also think that we can not carry into any government offices. But I would like someone else to confirm.

Re: Places you cannot carry in SC even though it is not post

Here is the listing of all the gun laws, go the section 16-23-465, it is very clear even with a CWP you can not carry into a place that serves alcohol. There is no distinction between a late night bar or your neighborhood Applebees.

Re: Places you cannot carry in SC even though it is not post

You have to be careful when reading the law posted on SLED's web site. They haven't updated it in years. SECTION 16-23-430: Carrying weapons on school property was changed on 6/2/2009 and still hasn't been changed on their site. The new section now reads:

http://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess118_200 ... ls/593.htm

Concealed weapons, school property exception

SECTION 1. Section 16-23-430 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 16-23-430. (A) It shall be unlawful for any person, except state, county, or municipal law enforcement officers or personnel authorized by school officials, to carry on his person, while on any elementary or secondary school property, a knife, with a blade over two inches long, a blackjack, a metal pipe or pole, firearms, or any other type of weapon, device, or object which may be used to inflict bodily injury or death.

(B) This section does not apply to a person who is authorized to carry a concealed weapon pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 31, Title 23 when the weapon remains inside an attended or locked motor vehicle and is 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.

(C) A person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. Any weapon or object used in violation of this section may be confiscated by the law enforcement division making the arrest."

Concealed weapons, school property exception

SECTION 2. Section 16-23-420(A) of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 294 of 2004, is further amended to read:

"Section 16-23-420. (A) It is unlawful for a person to possess a firearm of any kind on any premises or property owned, operated, or controlled by a private or public school, college, university, technical college, other post-secondary institution, or in any publicly owned building, without the express permission of the authorities in charge of the premises or property. The provisions of this subsection related to any premises or property owned, operated, or controlled by a private or public school, college, university, technical college, or other post-secondary institution, do not apply to a person who is authorized to carry a concealed weapon pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 31, Title 23 when the weapon remains inside an attended or locked motor vehicle and is 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."

Sorry, this post was for another thread...

Re: Places you cannot carry in SC even though it is not post

I also believe that it's important that people should know that their are many places that non-compliant signs for guns. Toys R Us and the childrens museum are 2 that I know of.

But, if you are discovered wearing a concealed gun and they ask you to leave remember, to be polite and leave. Otherwise you can be arrested for trespassing. Actually, I any privately owned place has the right to ask you to leave.

I just wanted to say that Detyen's Shipyards in North Charleston took down their signs that were posted inside the gate.

Re: Places you cannot carry in SC even though it is not post

Went to Toy-r-us this past weekend. They posted up a new non-compliant sign.
