What must be done to legally sell a firearm to another individual in South Carolina?

  1. Complete a background check through a licensed dealer

  2. Register the sale with the state police

  3. No legal requirement exists

  4. Notify ATF of the sale

The correct answer is: No legal requirement exists

In South Carolina, there are no legal requirements for individuals to register the sale of a firearm or notify any authorities about it when conducting a private sale. This means that you can sell a firearm to another individual without the need for a background check or any other formalities that are often required in other states. The law allows private citizens to sell firearms without going through a licensed dealer or involving the state police, assuming there is no disqualifying condition on either party (like felony convictions). This lack of requirement emphasizes the state's more permissive stance on private firearm transactions compared to others that may mandate gun registration or notification of sales. Always, however, it is important for individuals to ensure that the person they are selling to is legally permitted to own a firearm to help maintain responsible gun ownership.
