The guy was already breaking the law on multiple accounts and was carrying a weapon unlawfully.

SC law requires all CWP holders to hand their permit to the PO with their drivers license at checkpoints or traffic stops. Well, I had a gentlemen come through with an expired license tag sticker (05 on the tag), so I had him pull over. I discussed the issue with him and went and wrote him a ticket. Since he also could not produce proof of insurance and I had confiscated the license tag, I advised him to have his vehicle towed. He stated, "man I am going to miss my CWP class again". So, being I know he needed a handgun for the class, I asked him where it was. He pointed down and said I'm wearing it. Must of thought it would sound cool. His eye's about popped out of his head when I drew my Glock and pointed it at his head. He had just committed a felony by wearing a concealed weapon with no permit.....
After I got him out, did all my normal felony stop stuff, I explained to him his mistake and let him go.
So, the lesson to learn here, don't wear your gun to class, only after you have successfully passed the class and got your permit!

If I don't have the weapon on my person, I don't have to show the permit. Even if it's in my glove box or center console fully loaded and a round chambered.
But I do agree with you on the no permit, dont carry on your person, even in a vehicle.

Very well said Quintin! 
Even for those who choose not to carry most everything is based on situational awareness. Everyone would be much safer if they'd simply pay attention to what's going on around them.

CWP and Sears
I was spending my cash in Sears a few weekends back and noticed an older gentlemen shopping in the tool section with a 1911 tucked in his waistband. I found this odd because his shirt was tucked in and the grip was completely exposed. He made no effort to conceal his firearm. I guess he forgot the part about concealing his firearm.

Crazed, that is correct (at least in SC). There is no carry open unless you are in LE and working OR going fishing/hunting. Concealed requires permit. CWP restricted by any business posting sign to prohibit guns in stores. LE can carry anywhere, country wide with photo ID from department.
Notice the fishing/hunting exclusion above. You can carry open anywhere you want as long as you are a licensed hunter / fisherman and are coming or going to related activities...
This place makes no sense.....

They also both know not to touch them when I am not around. They are locked in the safe except for carry pistol which is always out of there reach.
