For instance, here in SC we can legally carry concealed pistols of course, with a permit. We may also legally own and carry automatic (switchblade) knives, which I sometimes do. (Love my Protech Godfather) LINK
We may legally carry/possess and use (as a self-defense weapon), brass knuckles ... as long as you have that CCW permit. LINK
Handgun wise .... if you are a legal law abiding citizen, we have Peaceable Journey laws in this state that allow you to pass through (even on vacation) with a pistol in your locked glovebox regardless of whether or not you are licensed/CCW permitted to carry in your state. As a citizen of this state, provided you are legal and law abiding, you may carry in your locked glove box without a permit.
In South Carolina our CCW permit allows us to carry, on our person, in the following states with which we have reached reciprocity agreements. LINK (We also offer a non-resident permit for tourists and snow turds .... errrrrrr, snow birds.)
Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Michigan
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Mexico
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming
How are your state laws in comparison?

MO is a Constitutional Carry state, so bring your piece. Just know if any local ordinances are in place where you are traveling to.

Summary of Mississippi Gun Laws
Mississippi is a shall-issue, constitutional carry state with concealed weapons permits issued at the state level by the Department of Public Safety.
There is no permit, background check or firearms registration required when buying a handgun from a private individual. A background check is required if purchasing a handgun from a Federal Firearms Dealer.
Open carry is legal in Mississippi for anyone at least 18 years of age who can legally possess a firearm with several restrictions, including that the firearm be carried in a holster, sheath or scabbard that is at least partially visible above clothing anywhere where guns are not otherwise prohibited. Some areas are off-limits, including schools and bars.
Concealed carry is legal without a permit for anyone who can legally possess a firearm as long as the handgun is carried in a holster or sheath. Mississippi statutes don’t address the minimum age for permitless concealed carry. For reciprocity reasons, two types of permits are still available at the state level: the Standard Firearms Permit (SFP) and an enhanced version (E-SFP), which allows carry in more locations. Permit applicants must be residents of Mississippi and a minimum of 21 years old or at least 18 and a member or the military or a veteran. The E-SFP requires a firearms training course offered by an instructor certified by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. In terms of reciprocity, since Mississippi has permitless carry, any person 21 years of age and older who can legally possess a firearm may carry a concealed firearm on his or her person without a license or permit.
Mississippi is a Castle Doctrine state and has a “stand your ground” law. A person who is not the initial aggressor and is not engaged in unlawful activity shall have no duty to retreat before using deadly force if the person is in a place where the person has a right to be. The statute provides that a person acting in justifiable self-defense shall have similar presumptions in civil cases and is immune from civil suits if found “not guilty” in criminal proceedings.

In Oklahoma, a CWP holder is allowed to have a loaded and hot long gun or shotgun in their vehicle, while occupying the vehicle, as long as it is visible in the back seat.

What do all of those states you highlighted have in common?
FL's laws are quite similiar
SEC states and I simply, ironically, included Michigan by accident or subconsciously because we're up there so much. It was late when I posted that.

and what the f good is a locked up gonna when trouble strikes? It's pathetic we let politicians and judges do this to us.
Okay so .... I realize you're probably imagining some kind of a John Wick type shootout with someone but, here goes.
I agree with you. Locked glovebox makes it awkward but it only applies to those without a permit and/or non residents who are legal.
Avoid the locked glovebox issue by getting your permit, including all those states we reciprocate with.
The locked glovebox thing is pretty much a Southern States, Atlantic Coast, I-95 law and it was enacted after some LEOs in SC and Florida got shot up on I-95. Bad guys probably are not going to obey the law anyway, but the law was made to slow people down, and make them think, before reaching for a gun. One of the instances, the one on 95 here in SC, just north of Savannah, involved a desperate man having some mental issues and he had never had a prior issue with the law. Back then the glove box was not a requirement for people not permitted and I think the guy was from Rhode Island or Maryland on his way home from Florida after his wife just told him she was banging some other dude and was leaving him with the girls or something along those lines.
Anyways, the law is to kinda help LEOs.
On another note someone mentioned above being a Castle Doctrine Stand Your Ground State .... that's important stuff if you carry concealed. Castle Doctrine notsomuch but Stand Your Ground definitely. We have both of those here.
SC just changed the law where we are now permitted to carry concealed in restaurants that serve alchohol provided the permit holder does not drink and is strictly there to eat a meal. Bars that do not serve food are not permitted, for obvious reasons. That's a common sense restriction.
Many local banks in this state do not restrict SC permit holders from carrying concealed, by posting no carry signs .... most of the big national banks do post signs though. It's not state law in SC that you cannot carry in banks and credit unions if you have a permit, it's up to the banks. LINK They have to post signs.
One correction on a mistake I just made because I called SLED to double check after remembering something .... having the glovebox locked is no longer a requirement HOWEVER, if you reach for your automobile registration or insurance in the glovebox of your car and there is an undeclared handgun in there, one you failed to tell the officer was in there in advance .... you're going to be in trouble. All you have to do is tell the officer, in advance, that you have a handgun in your glovebox BEFORE going in there to retrieve your proof of auto registration and insurance. It's up to the officer to instruct you how to proceed from that point forward.
In Alabama, brass knuckles are illegal as are cane guns. Bowie knives if they are concealed or in a vehicle. Otherwise, pretty much anything goes. We are a shall issue state for CCW. Constitutional carry has bogged down in the legislature.
