South Carolina as some of you may remember has come up in a few threads of mine with some basic not very specific questions. But now a move to SC is pretty much a 100% definite in the coming months and wanted to ask some more specific questions, I will be moving to the Anderson area, not sure of exact town but in the general area of Anderson is where I will be, so on with the questions-
Self defense- I have read on packing.org about the self defense law and get the impression that within your home you have no duty to retreat, am I correct in this? Also god forbid that does happen can you generally expect prosecution and hefty legal bills or is SC fairly friendly to victims of a break in who needs to defend himself? Also SD in public or of others?
Buying, transporting, etc- I understand there are no permits but are there any restrictions aside from the 18/21 federal laws? Amount of time between purchases or anything? Also transporting, without a CCW which I won't be able to even apply for until October what are the laws for transporting firearms in your car? Also if you stay on your property what does the law have to say about the open or concealed carry of a firearm? Also I am 20, what does the law have to say about me transporting a handgun to and from the range without someone over 21, or my receiving a handgun as a gift?
CCW- How hard is it to get and how long should I expect the paperwork to be processed and get my CCW since I plan to get one ASAP after turning 21. Most of the other stuff for CCW I have found pretty clear on packing.org.
Ranges- Like I said I will be going to the Anderson area. What kind of ranges (public or privately owned) are around? Gun clubs? I travel about a half hour each way to go to and from my current range and that is comfortable enough for me. But then like I said I'm not 100% sure of the exact town so basically anything in the general area I'd be interested in knowing.
Hunting- What kind of hunting rules and regs are there? Not looking for every bit of information and wouldn't expect someone to quote it all for me but are there good bag limits and what kind of rules and regs are there for small game hunting, things like squirrel rabbit and assorted other small game? And what (if any outside of the obviouse like residential) areas are off limits to hunting?
Also are there any forums on the web for the state like Florida shooters network is up for Florida?
Sure there are a few others that have slipped my mind, but those were the bigger ones off the top of my head.
