I am going on vacation later this summer to Myrtle Beach. I checked the laws of N.C. which I will be driving through and S.C. where I will be staying. The part that sucks in S.C. is you cannot carry into an establishment that serves alcohol even if you aren't drinking. I don't feel safe leaving it in the car not on me if we go out to eat someplace that serves alcohol due to possible car break in.
Anyways, my question is this. If we are going down to the beach and pool for the day would you bring your gun with you or leave it in the rental condo? Sounds like a dumb question as I type it out but I figured what the hell, I'll post it anyways. If I bring it to the pool or the beach it's going to be unattended in a beach bag while I go into the pool/ocean with my kids. Not a good idea at all.
If I leave it in the rental condo, then it's in a place in which it can't be secured in a safe. I also am always skeptical of staying in places out of town.This is in what I perceive to be a great area but I don't live there and I am always thinking ahead of myself because that's how I am.
What do you do? I mean, I'm a believer that if you're going to carry concealed then you commit to it and you carry everyday all the time and where permissible. Am I being ridiculous by thinking up these scenarios and being paranoid? Is it ridiculousto take a gun on the beach or to the pool on vacation with young kids and awife? I always like being prepared in case of the unforeseen you know? I always, always worry (think about) the "what if" factor, "whatwould I do factor." That's where this scenario originated from I guess.
Thoughts?
