Can we get this legislated as the signage requirements here just to piss Randy Rayburn off?

Of course those requirements are for the places that don't have doors, but SC does seem to have some very specific sign requirments....

I don't guess I've ever been inside a doorless building.

What's THAT about?

I would imagine that provision is not for buildings but rather open areas where carry is to be prohibited. Fields, parks, parking lots etc.....

[Mountain Man]

Thanks Fallguy!

I know it was for outdoor type areas, but I'd make a trip to Nashville just special to see the look on Rayburn's face when he had to hang a 4ft sign on the front of the Sunset Grill

Me too

[Farman]

I don't think so. I wouldn't even mention SC gun laws to anyone. Their laws are very precise and very restrictive compared to TN. They go to the extreme of having to have permission instead of prohibition.

I haven't looked in a while, but doesn't that only apply to private residences?

i have not been to Myrtle Beach in a few years but I recall buildings that did not have doors.

Kind of OT, but a few years ago a tourist got into an altercation with a shop owner and shot him. I wonder what ever became of that?

[Oh Shoot]

i have not been to Myrtle Beach in a few years but I recall buildings that did not have doors....

I guess open air bar type buildings that only have sliding metal garage doors would count.

Like Sloppy Joe's and the like in Key West.

[Mike.357]

exactly, open air buildings
