Which of the following locations is NOT a gun-free zone under South Carolina law?

  1. Hospital

  2. Bar or restaurant serving alcohol

  3. Federal building

  4. Private vehicles

The correct answer is: Private vehicles

Private vehicles are not considered gun-free zones under South Carolina law because they are considered an extension of someone's personal property and therefore, an individual may choose to have a firearm in their own vehicle. Options A, B, and C are all considered gun-free zones under South Carolina law for the safety and security of others. Hospitals are places where the public goes for healthcare and there is a higher chance of vulnerable individuals being present. Serving alcohol in a bar or restaurant may lead to impaired judgment and potential danger. Federal buildings, such as government offices, are considered sensitive areas that require a higher level of security.
