What constitutes a 'prohibited person' ineligible to possess a firearm in South Carolina?

  1. Anyone under the influence of alcohol

  2. Individuals convicted of a violent crime

  3. Persons under 18 years old

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of a violent crime

Individuals convicted of a violent crime are considered 'prohibited persons' and are ineligible to possess a firearm in South Carolina. This is because they have shown a history of violence and may pose a potential threat to themselves or others. The other options, such as being under the influence of alcohol or being under 18 years old, may also be considered factors in determining eligibility to possess a firearm, but are not the sole reason for being considered a 'prohibited person.'
