In South Carolina, is it legal to openly carry a handgun in public areas?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. No, under all circumstances

  3. Yes, with a permit

  4. No, but there are exceptions for certain areas

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit

While it may seem that options A or D could also be correct, the key word in the question is "legal." In South Carolina, it is not legal to openly carry a handgun in public areas without a permit. Therefore, option C provides the most accurate answer. Option B, on the other hand, is incorrect because it is an absolute statement. While there are restrictions and exceptions, it is not correct to say that it is never legal to openly carry a handgun in public areas in South Carolina.
