Howdy all!

Hoosier here, and life long gun owner. My significant other and I have been planning to move to South Carolina within the next few years so I thought I'd check in here and see what I can learn from yall!

Thanks for having me!

welcome.

have you ever been here?

I've visited South Carolina quite a bit growing up and even more so recently...been to various parts of the state.
 
ugh.... hooisers :cry: Just kidding ya blue blood wildcat here. Found my way to the palmetto too, lived in the low country and upstate. Wife is a native, this is a great state and great people. Welcome to the forum :D
 
Some helpful hints from a relocated Hoosier:

They drink SWEET TEA down here by the gallon. You add about 4 cups of sugar per glass of tea while it is hot. Then ice. If you add the sugar when the tea is cold, the sugar just collects at the bottom. The sugar filled glass is a dead giveaway for a Yankee.

They hunt deer down here with a shotgun. Its not that they cannot shoot accurately with a rifle, its just that the woods are dense and the deer very small. If it has antlers on its head, its a deer, otherwise it may be a dog. Be sure of your target.

The Southerners do not have a drawl like we were told. They just have a mouth full of Red Man and it makes them talk funny, even the women.

Southern folks cannot drive in the cold. It just has to get chilly here for them to close the schools, banks, and government offices. No snow required. When it does snow, about 1" or so, massive death tolls result from accidents on the interstate. Southerners cannot drive on snow.

Southerners are all NASCAR fans. They only make left turns. If they must turn right, it messes them up, and they will generally pull out right in front of you. Be advised. Earnhardt is not dead down here, he just took a break from racing to tune his engine.

Yellow lights do not mean prepare to stop. It means go faster, so the guy behind you does not smash into you cause HE IS NOT GOING TO STOP ON YELLOW.

Southerners believe Yankees are always wrong. The next few posts will confirm that by telling me just how wrong I am in my hints to you. Ignore them, I am right.

I'll be honest, that sounds like my hometown! :lol:
 
Welcome to the group. What part of Indiana are you from? I spent some time in Southern Indiana in the Louisville area, and also up north in Lafayette.
 
Welcome aboard, and PC is pretty much spot on.... I'm from South Carolina, but have traveled the world with the Air Force and came back home as a result. There are many quirks of the south but its what we all grow to love!

I'm from east central Indiana, near the Ohio border and smack dab between Cincinatti and Indy, but right now I'm living in Indy while I finish up my degree.

Louisville is in Indiana... sounds good to me :D when can we redraw the boarders? :mrgreen:
 
I should have mentioned, I am from Crothersville, Indiana. Its down toward the south end of the state. If you cannot find it on the map, don't worry, its not much of a concern in the area. Look up Seymore and you should be close. Austin is a little bigger town and is even closer. They loan us their police officer once in awhile.
