Yes, but only if they own the property where they are carrying

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if they own the property where they are carrying

Individuals can carry a concealed weapon in South Carolina without a permit, but only if they own the property where they are carrying. This is known as the "castle doctrine," which allows individuals to defend themselves and their property without a permit. Option A is incorrect because individuals still need a permit in certain circumstances, such as carrying in public places. Option B is incorrect because individuals can carry a concealed weapon with a permit. Option C is incorrect because individuals can carry a concealed weapon in other circumstances, such as on their own property or while engaged in specific activities such as hunting or fishing.
