What kind of background check system is used in South Carolina for firearm purchases from a licensed dealer?

National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)
Statewide background check system
Both A and B
No background check is required

The correct answer is: Both A and B

South Carolina uses a unique system where they conduct both the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and a statewide background check for firearm purchases from a licensed dealer. This ensures that all potential buyers undergo a thorough background check to determine their eligibility to own a firearm. Option D is incorrect because all licensed firearm dealers are required by federal law to conduct background checks through the NICS system. Option A or B alone would not be a complete answer, as South Carolina utilizes both systems in their background check process.
