I'm setting up a hog hunt on a friend's private property in SC. I have a current Indiana CCL.

Can I legally carry a handgun while hunting with that handgun in South Carolina?

South Carolina does not recognize my Indiana license (even though we recognize just about everyone elses!)

Thanks!

Probably where you'll find the answer.

Geo - even though Open Carry is frowned upon by the state (hopefully to change), you're fine to "carry" your pistol afield. It can be transported concealed in a vehicle, locked in a truck, console or glove box.

Thank you. The laws are not very clear, but I will be on private property. I just get a little nervous in states that have restrictive gun laws....

I travel the U.S. with my job, and have to look up state laws all the time to see where, when, and how I can or cannot carry. I find it ridiculous the amount of trouble I have to go through when crossing some state lines with a firearm. Especially since my driver's license is recognized in all states!

I just wasn't sure how those laws applied to hunting. In Indiana, you have to have a permit to carry - period. Hunting or not, open or concealed. (of course not on your own property)
