Thanks ALS. No radar detectors, I'll be driving at legal speeds (which admittedly is not always the case for me). That looks like a good plan and sounds like it'll work for me ('cept i think I'll do the glove box thing in SC most likely).
NineseveN,
Since the Pennsylvania LTCF is a bit limited in the reciprocity department, you might consider picking up a non-resident license.
A non-resident NH license would buy you Alabama, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi and North Dakota. Not much help on this trip though.
A non-resident FL license would buy you Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio and Virginia.
A non-resident UT license would buy you Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Virginia and Washington.

I did intend to do FL and VA non-res permits at some point, like I said though, this is not a regular trip for me, it's an emergency and thus I'm not prepared. But I guess I should have done it sooner just in case, I just never got around to it unfortunately.

Another option is to just become a career criminal.
Then you can do whatever you want guilt-free without having to jump through the hoops that upstanding law-abiding citizens do.
Seriously though, best wishes for your dad's recovery.

The requirement of having a "Utah Certified Instructor" give the course for the CCW is what kept me away from the Utah non-res, but I see that where I live now (moved a bout 70 miles from where I was) has one listed in the same telephone exchange...so that might be doable. Thanks!

Thanks torpid.
You have much larger concerns with Maryland than with South Carolina, as others have stated. You will be unable to stop for gas, food or to use the restroom if you have a pistol in your vehicle in 'The Free State'. :banghead:
And why bother with a VA non-resident permit if you're going to get a Florida one? I thought all of the states VA got you were already included in Florida's list?

NineseveN- Your examples are not relevant. I don't capriciously choose to not carry a gun (or not wear a seatbelt) but there are times when it's not legal or appropriate to do so. You're going through convulsions here over having to be unarmed for a couple hours driving down the highway. This seems excessive to me. I know you want to be armed, but I don't think it's possible to live a normal life and be armed 24/7/52/70.
BTW- I don't carry at work due to state law. I also do not feel the need to be armed while sitting on my couch or at a funeral or a wedding. This makes me a "weekend warrior" on concealed carry?
And I should admit that during those 42 years in a restrictive state I carried concealed frequently while working in high-risk jobs and even carried away from work (illegally) quite often when it seemed prudent to do so. I actually used my sidearm three times, two with shots fired. The term "weekend warrior" sort of invokes the image of an inexperienced boob. I beg to differ.

I think you are anguishing over a non issue myself.

Hard to believe, but I'm the only guy in town with one of these. The hat is from the Yee Haw Junction General Store that got blow away by a hurricane. It's a priceless heirloom.

I asked a simple question, if that constitutes convulsions, then so be it. I think a dictionary might be in order though, seems a little extreme of a label. I'm rather politically active, so it is part that I choose not to spend money or time in states that do not recognize the rights that I believe we all have at birth as part of being a free people if I can at all help it. If that bothers you, I really don't care.
If you prefer convenience over exercising your rights or are only a part-time participant in the rights we have due to convenience, then that would qualify to me, as a weekend warrior. Now, this may be in part due to the depth of my political and philosophical beliefs and the conviction I possess over the RKBA and a divide that is created because your beliefs obviously do not coincide. You see, you're a criminal, you've admitted, on a public forum that you broke the law when it suited you. To have the nerve to crap in my thread about my concern over not breaking the law and also staying true to my political beliefs stinks to high heaven of jackassery. It's okay for you to break the law when it suits you, but god forbid someone express concerns about staying true to their beliefs and also adhering to the law an avoiding legal and philosophical conflicts without you adding your unsolicited two cents.
The fact that you had the nerve to make this thread a platform for you to express your views and project them onto someone else without having the common decency and respect of a human being to even address the fact that this entire situation has arisen because my father was and at last update, still is, experiencing a serious medical condition and offer no sort of wishes for the health of another human being stinks of being a self-centered low human being.
I didn't ask for your judgment, I only asked for options to avoid SC or alternatives. I have enough to deal with having my father in a hospital 1300 miles away in intensive care without having to take pot shots from the peanut gallery on my personal beliefs. If you wanted to raise this issue, you could have at least had the decency and respect to do it in another thread. Kindly go find something else to do if you don't mind.
Some of the people here truly make me sick.
Yeah, "The High Road" indeed.

Taking I-75N, I-40E, and I-81N to get to I-77 in VA is a long way out of the way. If your Dad doesn't mind riding all those extra hours, then go for it. Me, I would just put my gun somewhere through SC and not worry about it. How did you survive before it was legal to carry? I doubt if SC would ever miss your not spending any money in that state. Silent protest has no effect.

Having a gun in your vehicle in SC is really a non-issue. Keep it in the glove box and you'll be fine. The chances of you being stopped are slim to none in the first place due to the fact that SC Highway Patrol is terribly understaffed - they don't even look at you unless you're doing over 85mph. If you are stopped, it's completely legal to be loaded in the console, glove box, or trunk. If you're like me and keep your registration/insurance information separate from where you store the weapon, the issue of you being armed probably won't even come up. My friend and I were stopped one time by Irmo PD and he unwisely had his Glock in the glove box where his paperwork was. He informed the officer of this, and the officer just secured the weapon until the stop was done.
How ridiculous is it that we have reciprocity with NC, but won't honor a permit that they do honor?
