Are background checks required for private firearm sales in South Carolina?

  1. Yes, for all firearm sales

  2. Yes, but only for handgun sales

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only for sales at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

In South Carolina, background checks are not mandatory for private firearm sales. This means that individuals selling firearms to one another privately, without involving a licensed dealer, are not required to conduct a background check on the buyer. This law allows for private transactions to occur without the same regulatory oversight that applies to sales conducted through licensed dealers, where background checks are required. The other options imply varying degrees of regulation that do not align with current South Carolina law regarding private sales. Therefore, the understanding of private sales not requiring background checks accurately reflects the legal framework in the state.
