Long gun in car/truck

[Daleo8803]

In South Carolina what are the laws about keeping a long gun ( Ar, shotgun,22 etc) in the vehicle? I'm not having much luck with my googlfu.... I'm wanting to know if I can keep one in my trunk ( locked up of course). Thanks

You may carry concealed in a vehicle with an South Carolina Handgun License or a recognized state’s permit or license. Without a recognized license or permit, loaded handguns may be carried in a closed glove compartment. Rifles and shotguns may be loaded while in the trunk or passenger area unless you are in a state park, recreational area or wildlife area during hunting season. In this case, all long guns must be unloaded and secured in cases even if you have a permit.

Open carrying in a vehicle is also not legal. You may carry concealed in a vehicle with an South Carolina Handgun License or a recognized state’s permit or license. Without a recognized license or permit, loaded handguns may be carried in a closed glove compartment. Rifles and shotguns may be loaded while in the trunk or passenger area unless you are in a state park, recreational area or wildlife area during hunting season. In this case, all long guns must be unloaded and secured in cases even if you have a permit..

Will it is just my opinion from these two snippets, you don't want it visible for sure. The "loaded" longun part makes me think it shoukd be okay but my opinion and 99¢ will only get you a cup of coffee.

South Carolina prohibits the possession, carrying or having readily accessible a loaded centerfire rifle, or shotgun loaded with a shot size “larger than number four” on a public road or railroad right-of-way if the person does not have permission to hunt the land immediately adjacent thereto.5 This prohibition does not apply, however, to a centerfire rifle or shotgun contained in a vehicle traveling on a public road, a closed compartment, or a closed vehicle trunk.6

If it's in the passenger compartment it's got to be unloaded, basically. I keep a magazine in mine just no round chambered

Thanks!! I will be keeping it in my trunk so it could be loaded but I will be keeping the chamber empty. Most likely I will be building a Ar pistol to keep in there but I haven't decided yet.
