Are armor-piercing bullets legal for civilian use in South Carolina?

  1. Yes, in all circumstances

  2. No, under any circumstances

  3. Yes, but only for law enforcement

  4. Yes, but with restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, but with restrictions

Armor-piercing bullets are designed to penetrate through body armor worn by law enforcement officers and military personnel. Therefore, many states have restrictions on their use in order to protect these individuals. South Carolina allows the use of armor-piercing bullets for civilians but with certain limitations and regulations. Option A and C are incorrect because they are too extreme - allowing it in all circumstances or only for law enforcement. While option B is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the laws in South Carolina.
