Is it legal to OC on your own property in SC? i.e. my own yard, driveway, house, etc.

Here is a good question. Its probably obvious but I was curious.
What if a gun owner lives in an apartment complex? Can they open carry all the way to the parking lot owned but the company leasing the apartment or does that exception end at the front door and any other part of personally leased space?
I mean because technically the property owned by the leasing company in an apartment complex is private property. Its just not YOUR proerty, yet you have permission to be there due to a lease. As I have permission to be in the parking lot or the pool, just not in other people's personally leased space.
My assumption is it only pertains to the leased space you are paying rent for. Whats your opinion on this?
Why is that? Is that because I intending on going on a journey with a destination and going to the mailboxes is not? Throw me a bone here.thejax wrote:Here is a good question. Its probably obvious but I was curious.

Perfectly legal between your apartment door and your vehicle in the parking lot. Not legal to walk out to the mailboxes.
South Carolina statutes allow unlicensed carry in your home, your fixed place of business (as long as the business is not licensed to sell alcohol for on-premise consumption), your vehicle (in your glove box, center console, or a container with an integral fastener), a room for which an accommodations tax has been paid, or between your vehicle and any of the abovementioned locations. Method of carry to/from your vehicle is not specified. Carrying in public under any other conditions is only lawful when concealed and with a valid SC CWP.Hef wrote:Why is that?

OP would make a good attorney. Quoting part of a law, but leaving out the qualifier.Welcome to OCDO and to carrying a weapon in South Carolina. Your purposes might be better served by starting your own thread.
Openly carried guns not for special purposes like hunting, openly carried guns for self-defense are illegal in South Carolina.
SECTION 16-23-20. Unlawful carrying of handgun; exceptions.
It is unlawful for anyone to carry about the person any handgun, whether concealed or not, except as follows, unless otherwise specifically prohibited by law:
[ ... ]
(8) a person in his home or upon his real property or a person who has the permission of the owner or the person in legal possession or the person in legal control of the home or real property;
[ ... ]"
No, not anymore than Heller addresses the Sullivan Act.Doesn't Heller address these issues?

Sorry for the swerve into UT. Just thinking how I could motivate my kin folk into getting SC to be more like MO...heck, more like UT.Wudda, shudda, cudda...you, my friend, are trapped in your east coast (NJ) conundrum. It is not your fault that you continue to reside in a anti-liberty state. Here in MO, which should be more like UT, individual liberty is cherished, not scorned. Charles chooses to reside in a very liberty centric state. I, on the other hand reside in a state that recognizes my individual liberty far more than my home state of SC. I envy Charles...I am to ingrained in my returning to my ancestral plot to move further west than Columbia SC.
We could all learn a great deal from the efforts of the citizens of UT. Me thinking "aloud" so to speak as I read of the latest events here in MO...STL area to be specific.
