Hello fellow Carolinians,
I'm considering moving to the Grand Strand area of SC, south of Myrtle Beach. I grew up in Charlotte and have lived in several places across the piedmont in the last few years.
Anyone have any experience to share about the area? Is it somewhat gun friendly? How is crime during the tourist season?
I've vacationed down there in the past, but, of course, as a tourist, never really had to think about much past my CCW being honored on the state.
