This policy in essence means, I must travel all the way to work, and all the way home (and whatever stops I wish to make in between) without the benefit of self protection

One thing you can do is simply refuse to allow them to search your vehicle.

If you think there is a possiblity they will search, get a lockbox that you can bolt down to your vehicle, and keep your weapon in there. And if they ask to open it, tell them you "forgot" the key.

We need a law like this in S.C. I believe.

South Carolina probably has the worst gun laws of any state in the south. But now that they have a good conservative for governor, that should change. They definately need to make drastic improvements to their CCW law, and this would be a great starting point.

I don't believe in keyed padlocks. All of mine are combination locks. You have the right (and power) to remain silent....

Well actually there is little chance they would actually do searches cause if they did, they'd need a uhaul to hold all the iron under seats, in glove boxes, in trunks etc., so I really don't have a worry about that.

"South Carolina probably has the worst gun laws of any state in the south."

I haven't actually compared and I'm not as active with the local grass roots CCW/2nd Amendendment/Gun Rights people as I ought to be but, there have been some improvements lately.

Within the last two months the gov has signed into law a ban on the prohibition of muliple firearm purchases, and I think there were some changes with regard to certain "off limits" carry places like restaurants. But I don't know the specifics of that one.

So hopefully it will keep improving.
