| What are the laws / taxes / so on like on your side of the border? I might look at some houses around Lake Wylie area, I heard SC is cheaper to live the NC. I work in Gastonia, so it is just over the border. Will my CHL transfer with no prob? Thanks for you help, Mad. |
Only if you're lucky. SC is not a shall issue state. I don't know anyone (other than over the Internet, but those few guys might be full of it) that's successfully fought the state police for a permit. Personally, I've been denied without cause five times. Over the past four years, I've talked to people at SLED all of the way up to Chief Robert Stewart's office, got the head of the state house, and also a retired state supreme court chief justice to go to bat for me and several friend and relatives that were also denied. None of us has a permit yet. Maybe after Stewart retires things will change, but for now, the state police are very anti-CWP.z |
uh, SC IS a shall issue state. www.packing.org/state/index.jsp/south+carolina. I haven't heard of anyone around here being denied, in fact, my instructor told me he only had 2 denied in the past 2 years. For awhile SLED was denying if you had a bunch of traffic violations, but they've recently eased up on that too. also, they have to submit a reason in writing for your denial....

No it isn't. SLED can deny any person for any reason. That isn't shall-issue.
I've never had a speeding ticket or received a ticket for any other type of traffic violation.
I don't know anyone that's been able to get a reason in writing out of them. I've talked to quite a few people that don't know why SLED refused to issue a permit. SLED isn't quite as anti-gun as they were in the 60's, but they're still rabid anti-gun.z |
negative. South Carolina is a 'shall-issue permit' state, meaning the "issuing authority has no discretion when to issue Permit/License if the applicant is not disqualified." If you don't believe me, just look at the law:
like i said earlier, you are the first person i've EVER heard of getting their permit denied here in SC. You have to be doing something wrong in the fingerprint/picture/class/application process. i've talked to SLED several times on the phone about the status of my permit when i was waiting on it, and about address changes, and they have been extremely nice and helpful. not to mention South Carolina has one of the most pro-gun Governor's and AG in the south. |
Zoom, I have had and allowed to expire my CCW originally in 1997. Expired in 2001. I just this weekend re-did the training aspect and will re-apply this week. I expect mine to take appx 2 weeks since it's almost a re-newal. Pardon my observations, but you have got to be the most unlucky SOB I have ever had experience to know of. Nothing ever goes right for you. Accused of DUI regularly, kel-tec's that don't work, denied 5 times for CCW etc......... You may have been turned down for medical reasons as you obviously have some condition that causes every cop in the upstate to pull you for DUI. I have never met you and really wonder if you are for real. SHit I remember you saying you couldn't find a place to shoot for your CMP rifle. I offered in that thread to help you. No response. I wonder if you really even care or just want to bitch. Just as absolute said, you are the only person I have heard of to be turned down. Good luck to you for once if you really are a real person. |
Well, Gun-Fan, it seems that you've effectively killed this discussion.  I used to tell my Mom that my brother hit me "for no good reason", but that wasn't really true. I gave him plenty of reasons. Most times when there is a trend of consequences there is a cause behind them.  |
Sorry, that wasn't my intent. Maybe I was a too blunt. I just wanted to point out that it;s not hard to get a CWP and to show a propensity to be negative by Zoom. My apologies to Zoom and the original poster. |
The "killed this discussion" comment was tongue-in-cheek. You just said what a lot of us were thinking. |
