Hi there.. Here's my take on this question.
1. When.. (snip) What about in South Carolina where I have no special permit?
In SC, no permit is needed to carry loaded/unloaded if engaged in target shooting. I would never go downrange without a loaded pistol on a public range.
2. The range (snip) With a rifle?
As long as the muzzle is ahead of the bench (protecting your neighbors) you can shoot anyway you wish.
3. Transporting a pistol in the console or glove box is legal in both states. How do I transport my rifle? (snip)
If you think about it, pickup trucks with gun racks are common. Case and unload your rifle and have fun. BTW, it is not a requirement in SC to have your pistol unloaded or in a locked glove box.
Here is a link to the range rules. The fourth makes it sound like Holstered pistols are not allowed when going downrange, but that seems safer to me.
Note - I do not shoot on public ranges anymore. Too many yo-yos. If you'd like details on some of the private ranges in SC, drop me a line..
