I live in NC half a mile from the SC border.
NC is open carry.
SC is not.
While getting out of my truck at a SC convenience store, my jacket hoisted up over my sidearm and was exposed. A SC sheriff was getting coffee and approached me asking for my CCW.
I showed him my NC CCW and he kindly informed me that SC was not open carry and I should make sure to keep it concealed while in his state.
I said, “We’ll do” and he told me to have a nice day.
Thats it.
in Tennessee you can choose to carry concealed or open, but you have to have a carry permit.
