Ace South Carolina Gun Laws & Safety Test 2026 – Lock, Load, and Learn!

In most cases, openly carrying a firearm in public in South Carolina is illegal. Option A suggests that it is legal in "most" public places, but this is not the case. Option B states that it is legal with a CWP (Carrying a Concealed Weapon Permit), which is partially true, but the question specifically asks about openly carrying, not concealed carrying. Option D mentions hunting season, but that is not relevant to the question as it asks about carrying in public, not specifically while hunting. Therefore, the correct answer is C as openly carrying a firearm in public in South Carolina is only legal in rare circumstances, such as when hunting or at a shooting range.
