What is the status of 'red flag' laws in South Carolina?

  1. Fully implemented

  2. Under consideration

  3. No 'red flag' laws exist

  4. Implemented only in certain cities

The correct answer is: No 'red flag' laws exist

'Red flag' laws are also known as extreme risk protection order laws, which would allow a court to temporarily confiscate firearms from individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others. In South Carolina, there are currently no 'red flag' laws in place, meaning that there is no legal mechanism for temporarily removing firearms from individuals who may be a risk. Options A and D are both incorrect because they suggest that 'red flag' laws are either fully or partially implemented in South Carolina. Option B is also incorrect because it suggests that 'red flag' laws are under consideration, when in reality, they are not currently being considered in the state.
