Can non-residents apply for a concealed weapons permit in South Carolina?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. Yes, but only if they own property in the state

  3. No

  4. Yes, but they need a special endorsement

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

Non-residents are allowed to apply for a concealed weapons permit in South Carolina, but there are restrictions. Option A saying "without any restrictions" is incorrect because non-residents must still meet certain requirements and qualifications. Option C stating "No" is also incorrect, as non-residents are allowed to apply, just with restrictions. Option D stating "Yes, but they need a special endorsement" is not entirely incorrect, but it is not the most accurate choice. Non-residents are not required to have a special endorsement, but rather must provide proof of ownership or lease of property in the state. Option B is the most accurate choice as it reflects the restrictions for non-residents but acknowledges that they are able to apply for the permit in South Carolina.
