Driving from Florida to Virginia with a gun

[gilfo]

Driving up to Virginia to visit a college for my daughter with my family. Can anybody tell me if I can go thru all the states without a problem, I do have a cc permit, or is there a link to see what states reconize the Fla permit. Has anyone made the trip? I could not find a good link to answer my question.
Thanks and appreciate any help provided.

No problem since South Carolina on September 12, 2008, became the 33rd state to agree to honor Florida concealed weapon licenses.

In Georgia, be aware that you can't carry at public gatherings.

so... if South carolina has recently changed its stance, why do these sites not reflect that?

It does. Note the legend states "Florida resident permit only", meaning being a resident of Florida, SC honors his permit.

Enjoy your drive through SC

I kind of find this ironic. I'm planning a trip next year from VA to FL and would like to carry at least 1 pistol for defense.

I checked the other day and Georgia does not honor Virginia's CCW permit, but all of the other states do.

If you were me, how would you transport the pistol where it would be safe/legal through all the states without stopping and locking it up at every state line?

What college are you all visiting?

 

[SCKimberFan]

While driving through SC and NC, if stopped, you must inform the officer you have a permit and that you are carrying. (If you keep it between 6-8 mph over you should not have a problem.)

I'm not sure about GA & VA.

Just drive through GA and don't stop. Fill up in SC on your way down and you should be able to clear GA without stopping, it's only 100ish miles through GA on I95.

Car Carry is fine in Georgia without a Permit

You should be fine just follow the below to the letter:

RV/Car Carry Without A Permit/License in Georgia

Virginia has no requirement to inform.
