Can a person legally open carry a firearm in public places in South Carolina with a concealed weapons permit?

  1. Yes, in all public places

  2. No, open carry is not permitted

  3. Yes, but only in places where concealed carry is allowed

  4. Yes, but only during daylight hours

The correct answer is: No, open carry is not permitted

In South Carolina, open carry is generally not permitted, regardless of whether the individual possesses a concealed weapons permit. It is important to remember that South Carolina law prohibits the open carrying of firearms in most public places, even with a concealed weapons permit. This restriction is in place to maintain public safety and prevent any potential misunderstandings or escalation of conflicts that may arise from openly carried firearms in public settings.
