This thread is full of win!
I had a CC permit while living in Alabama, one of the first things on my list when I moved to SC was getting my permit. SC requires that you pass both a written exam and a 50 round shooting qualification prior to receiving the permit. I think it great that you must show some sort of firearms competence prior to walking the street legally packing.
Anywho, here's a few weapons from my collection. I love the S&W M&P series as you can see below. I recently picked up the M&P 15-22 for plinking.
M&P 15
M&P 40 - My carry of choice
M&P R8 357 - I qualified for my CC with this one, pic below
Walther P22 - It's just fun
