Can individuals convicted of a felony own a firearm in South Carolina after serving their sentence?

  1. Yes, immediately after serving sentence

  2. No, never

  3. Yes, but only after a pardon

  4. Yes, after a certain period and with a judge's approval

The correct answer is: Yes, but only after a pardon

While it is generally illegal for individuals convicted of a felony to own a firearm, in South Carolina, they may be able to do so after receiving a pardon. A pardon is typically only granted after a person has completed their sentence and has demonstrated good behavior. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not take into account the requirement of a pardon.
