Who is eligible to obtain a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) in South Carolina?

  1. Anyone over the age of 21

  2. South Carolina residents only

  3. Individuals who have completed a firearms training course

  4. Non-residents who own property in the state

The correct answer is: Individuals who have completed a firearms training course

To obtain a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) in South Carolina, an individual must have completed a firearms training course. This option is correct because it is required by the state in order to obtain the permit. Option A is incorrect because the minimum age requirement for a CWP in South Carolina is actually 18 years old. Option B is incorrect because non-residents can also obtain a CWP in South Carolina as long as they meet certain requirements. Option D is incorrect because simply owning property in the state does not automatically make a non-resident eligible for a CWP.
