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

2 years
5 years
10 years
Indefinitely

The correct answer is: 5 years

In South Carolina, a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) is valid for five years from the date of issuance. After this period, the permit holder is required to renew their CWP to maintain their legal ability to carry a concealed weapon. The five-year validity period aligns with the state's commitment to ensuring that all permit holders remain informed about current laws and responsible firearm handling practices. This renewal process typically involves submitting an application, possibly undergoing a background check, and paying a renewal fee, ensuring that the individuals carrying concealed weapons continue to meet the necessary legal requirements and safety standards.
