How long is a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) valid in South Carolina before it needs to be renewed?

5 years
10 years
3 years
Indefinitely

The correct answer is: 5 years

A Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) in South Carolina is valid for a period of 5 years before it needs to be renewed. This means that after 5 years, the permit holder must go through the application process again and meet the necessary requirements in order to renew their permit. The other options are incorrect because - B: 10 years is too long of a validity period for a CWP in South Carolina. - C: 3 years is too short of a validity period for a CWP in South Carolina. - D: Indefinitely is not a valid option for a CWP in South Carolina as all permits must be periodically renewed to ensure the holder is still eligible to carry a concealed weapon.
