For instance here is part (e) any person licensed to carry a handgun or weapon in any other state whose laws recognize and give effect to a license issued pursuant to this part shall be authorized to carry a weapon in this state, but only while the licensee is not a resident of this state; provide, however, that such licensee shall carry the weapon in compliance with the laws of this state." Is this saying that if SC recognizes the GA CCW permit then I would be able to carry concealed in Ga? Seeing as GA does not recognize the SC CCW permit that probably means SC does not recognize the GA permit either. Before I cross the state line I will have to stop my vehicle, unload the weapon and lock it in a box. Splendid....
I know it's a bit late in your enlightenment about SC/GA but being a previous SC resident and CC permit holder. I would travel to GA/FLA on occasion. I had to secured a FLA non-resident just because of SC/GA non agreement. Fla CC is acceptable in GA. In the near future I would make it a point to apply to Fla.
SIDE NOTE: SC's minimum requirement for training/Class time is more than Ga. Hence SC will not honor Ga and Ga will not reciprocate if another State doesn't honor theirs. (Sad but true, so much for a friendly neighbor State. Especially in the South)
