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

  1. 5 years

  2. 10 years

  3. 3 years

  4. 7 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

In South Carolina, a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) is valid for a period of 5 years before it needs to be renewed. This means that holders of a valid CWP must renew their permit every 5 years to continue legally carrying a concealed weapon. It is important for permit holders to be aware of the expiration date of their permit and to start the renewal process in a timely manner to avoid carrying a lapsed permit, which can lead to legal consequences.
