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

  1. 2 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 10 years

  4. Lifetime

The correct answer is: 5 years

A CWP in South Carolina is valid for 5 years before it needs to be renewed. Option A, 2 years, is too short of a time period for a valid CWP. Option C, 10 years, is too long, as CWP's in South Carolina need to be renewed every 5 years. Option D, lifetime, is also incorrect as CWP's do not have a lifetime validity and must be renewed every 5 years in South Carolina.
