I'm thinking out loud here...let's say I have a relative who owns property in SC. I wonder if he could parcel off a small piece of his property, sell it to me for $1, and then I would be the deeded owner and a property owner in SC. Then I would be able to apply for a SC CCW permit.
That may work. Here is the line from the SC Code:
Source: South Carolina Law Enforcement Division(2) “Qualified nonresident” means an individual who owns real property in South Carolina, but who resides in another state.
When I checked on this, Real Property meant that you had a deed to the property, and paid property taxes on the assessed value of that property. We own a deed to the timeshare that we own, which meats the first part. The second part on property taxes we don't have since we don't directly pay them (they are paid by the Timeshare management group as part of our annual maintenance fee).
So, if you had a deed to that small parcel, and paid SC property tax you would be good to go, of course so long as you also meat the SC training requirement. In our case, we're just as well off to take a class to get the FLA non-resident permit as it is recognized by many other states including SC.
