Can local governments in South Carolina enact their own laws regulating the possession of firearms?

In South Carolina, local governments are preempted by state law from regulating firearms. This means that they are not allowed to create their own laws regarding the possession of firearms. The state law takes precedence and local governments must follow it. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect. Option A implies that local governments always have this power, which is not the case. Option C implies that there may be certain circumstances where local governments can make their own laws, but this is not the case in South Carolina. Option D is partially correct, as local governments can make laws for regulating firearms on municipal property, but this is limited to only that specific area and does not pertain to all firearms laws. Option B is the correct answer because it accurately reflects the state's preemption of local governments in this matter.
