How long is a South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) valid?

3 years
5 years
10 years
Indefinitely

The correct answer is: 5 years

A South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) is valid for five years. This duration aligns with the state's regulations governing CWPs, which stipulate that individuals must renew their permits every five years to maintain their ability to carry a concealed weapon legally. Understanding the renewal process is crucial for anyone holding a CWP, as failing to renew in a timely manner could result in the loss of the permit and the legality of carrying a concealed weapon. The option indicating a longer or shorter validity period does not reflect current legislation and practices surrounding concealed carry permits in South Carolina.
