So I'll be going to S.C. this weekend, and I looked up SC's concealed carry laws and wanted to make sure I understood them correctly, so if anyone has any personal experience with carrying in SC I would appreciate your input. The main differences I noticed between TX and SC is as follows:

I cannot carry into a hospital or church without expressed permission from the hospital or church.
SC does not have 30.06 signs, but signs need to say "No Concealable Weapons Allowed" in black 1" tall lettering, with gunbusters logo, at each entrance.
I cannot concealed carry into someone's residence without their permission first.

I did not see any laws pertaining to carrying in bars or restaurants that serve alcohol. Does anyone know of any restrictions on this?

IIRC, anyplace that serves alcohol is off limits, even restaurants that primarily serve food. SC makes no distinction between bars and restaurants.
