The 2 links show states that honor our CWP's. One map shows New Mexico as yes, the other says no. Anybody know how to find out for sure? |

As always, go to the SOURCE when you want clarification on a law.
Looks like NM is on the list per SLED. EDIT: Here is New Mexico's Statement South Carolina: http://www.sled.sc.gov/Reciprocity1.aspx?MenuID=CWP New Mexico recognizes South Carolina concealed carry permits that are held by U.S. citizens. |

South Carolina only honors Resident Permit/Licenses from the states they honor. They will not honor any non resident permit/license. Michigan, Colorado, Florida, Maine and New Hampshire are the same. They only honor Resident permit/licenses from the states they honor. So unless you have a resident permit from one of the states SC honors you can't get legal there. PA will not honor some Non Resident permit/licenses but will honor others. The only good thing about SC is Pasted below on carrying in a vehicle in SC.
South Carolina requires a signed Reciprocity Agreement before they will honor another state. They also require certain criteria from the states they sign with. They will never sign with Georgia unless Georgia changes their law or SC changes their laws. There is no way for them to agree with each other with the laws they have on the books now. South Carolina will issue Non Resident permits but you have to own property in SC and pay property tax there to be eligible for a SC Non Resident permit.

Their law is very specific on the only locations where it can be carried. Section 16-23-10. Definitions. When used in this article: (1) “Handgun” means any firearm designed to expel a projectile and designed to be fired from the hand, but shall not include any firearm generally recognized or classified as an antique, curiosity, or collector’s item, or any that does not fire fixed cartridges.

In a station wagon, van, hatchback vehicle, or sport utility vehicle, the term “luggage compartment” refers to the area behind, but not under, the rearmost seat.

SC doesn't recognize NH non resident so it would be moot point. Quoted:

New Hampshire, fill out on line form, send copy of your SC CWP and $100 and they mail you 4 year CWP - no class, no shooting, no gas burned, no hassle!  SC doesn't recognize NH non resident so it would be moot point. But Georgia does. That's the point. He's already a SC resident with a CWP so he is recognized in his home state. Getting a NH CWP will allow him to carry in GA, something the SC CWP does not allow. |
