What is required to legally sell a handgun to another individual in South Carolina?

  1. A background check on the buyer

  2. Nothing, private sales are unregulated

  3. Bill of Sale

  4. The buyer's conceal carry permit

The correct answer is: Nothing, private sales are unregulated

Private sales of handguns in South Carolina are unregulated, therefore there are no legal requirements needed in order to sell a handgun to another individual. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they are not required for private sales. A background check on the buyer may be needed for licensed dealers, and a bill of sale and conceal carry permit may be required for other types of firearm transactions, but they are not necessary for private sales in South Carolina.
