The correct answer is: No, open carry is not permitted

In South Carolina, open carry is generally not permitted, regardless of whether the individual possesses a concealed weapons permit.

This restriction is in place to maintain public safety and prevent any potential misunderstandings or escalation of conflicts that may arise from openly carried firearms in public settings.
