Can a non-resident obtain a Concealed Weapons Permit in South Carolina?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, if they own property in the state

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only for military personnel stationed in South Carolina

The correct answer is: Yes, if they own property in the state

A non-resident can obtain a Concealed Weapons Permit in South Carolina under specific conditions, primarily relating to their home state laws and whether they have established a connection to South Carolina, such as owning property. This is why the option indicating that ownership of property in the state allows for the permit makes sense. It’s important to note that not all non-residents can freely obtain this permit without any restrictions; they must follow the laws and regulations that govern the acquisition of a concealed carry permit in South Carolina, including any criteria that could involve being subject to their residency state laws. While there are options that mention other categories, such as military personnel, the pathway for non-residents needing to establish a connection through property ownership is particularly relevant to the laws in place for obtaining a concealed carry permit in South Carolina.
