Good morning all-
I will be traveling I-95 FL to VA via Georgia, So. Carolina, No. Carolina. Each state honors FL CWP (a state or two restrict weapons- firearms are OK)- I'm concerned with handguns only. Can the firearm be holstered on my person while traveling through these states or must it be "securely encased" or "encased securely"? And if it can be holstered on my person does the holster have to have a snap? Thanks for your input.

I'm pretty sure in SC you can't have it in a open holster even in the car. You can have it on you but must be concealed.

But as DaveH posted, check it out on the site he provided to be sure.

Safe travels!

Here is a good site to put in your FAVORITES. Has a wealth of info.

Handgunlaw.us

Drive safe. Bout got took out 3 times on I-95 last month on the bike from NC to Clearwater and back! Next trips will be in the FX4 F-150!
Never will hop on that madhouse again on the HD.

Hate to say it and no offence but 2 of the OFFENDERS (A-H****) had NY plates and had to be doing 95 MPH+. The other perp was from Pa, but that road is dangerous!

I'd personally be more worried being taken out by a motorist than a BG.

In SC

Can be on person but has to be concealed. No snap needed.

Can be in Glove box, Console, rear most compartment in a container that has an intregal fastener or in the trunk. Does not have to be locked. Can be loaded

Must identify that you are Concealed Carrying IF CONCEALED carrying and officially stopped and asked for identification or detained.

Not illegal for gun to become exposed when entering glove box, console etc to retrieve information (not a darn bad idea to warn officer of its presence and wait for instructions before doing so though I don't think)

Legal to tranfer to and keep in hotel room with or without CWP.

Legal to carry in automobile with or without CWP as described earlier (Console, Glove box, etc).

Legal to have in car as described in State rest areas. Legal to conceal carry also, with permit.

State parks also legal to have as described and legal to Conceal Carry with permit.

+1 cphilip! You nailed it. Finally, someone who actually knows the SC law rather than just speculates!

Great link by DaveH - I'd never seen that before.

Re: snap on holster. Are there any states that actually require that? I had never heard of that before and did some quick searching but couldn't find anything related. That seems strict.

It's not a snap-on holster, it's a holster with a thumb break retention device. I believe GA used to require that, and they may still. Anyone live in GA who can update us on that?

Make sure you do more research than just this site as it lists Maryland as an OPEN CARRY state.
