    Small planet. I ran Butte by myself as P&D. I remember your terminal since I delivered that large old distro center that sat behind it

    Let me guess... You took the Harrison N exit then right on Meadowlark and then two blocks down to Wynne and their terminal is on the right?

    Always thought the property ownership requirement was for non-resident licenses.

    Yes, I believe you’re correct...:oops:

    I know they are the one state I can’t carry in on the way to Florida. At least they make it somewhat convenient by saying I can at least leave my loaded pistol in the center console in my truck.

    South Carolina is a stupid state in terms of 2A. My CCW didn't get recognize and the only time I can open carry is if I am on my own property (whole 2/10 of an acre in suburbia) and if I go fishing or hunting.

    I always carry, and always in the open when I was in Montana. I don't want trouble nor want to cause any. Sure enough, the first six months in SC I have to pull my conceal carry gun cause there is three against me. I don't fire a shot but me pointing at these jackholes was enough to scare them away. I never called it in cause our company at the time didn't allow guns.

    Later on i found out that my CCW didn't transfer. I thought a conceal license transfers like a drivers license or a marriage license (under the Full Faith and Credit Clause) but apparently it doesn't. Had I called it in I would probably been arrested on a felony gun charge... Despite my license, 200 hours of training, background checks, and something in the Constitution that allows me bear arms.

    Yeah. Stupid. All of it.

    SC doesn’t have reciprocity with MT unfortunately. They do have reciprocity with FL, but they won’t honor my FL permit because it’s an NR permit.

    On a side note, SC does have duty to inform, so if an LEO stops you, you have to tell them you’re carrying.

    Prolly shouldn't mention it. But the very gun I used to defend myself with was the same one I had strapped to my back when I was pulled over at a scale a week prior to the incident. I did not know I wasn't allowed to carry in the state nor did I know I had to report the gun.

    Either way I would be a felon right now and probably unemployed. I wish things would be standardized accross the board for all states.

    Yep... We have several drivers that run in from Billings every night. Coming up from the south can be like a walk in the park compared to running across I-90 from Billings in the winter.

    So does everybody else.

    Unfortunately we’re left with having to look at every state’s laws.

    And I am way off tracking from this thread. But I don't carry cause I want to rob you or hurt anyone. I do so cause I was robbed and had to defend myself. Still, I would be the one in jail for firearm offense.

    Little bit asinine if you ask me. And I honestly didn't even realize I was wrong at the time.
