Can you carry a loaded gun in your car in South Carolina?

Yes, but only in the glove compartment
Yes, if you have a CWP
No, it is illegal
Yes, but it must be visible

The correct answer is: Yes, if you have a CWP

In South Carolina, it is legal to carry a loaded gun in your car, but only if you have a CWP (Concealed Weapons Permit). Having the gun in the glove compartment (Option A) may not be sufficient, as a CWP is required. It is also not legal to have a loaded gun visible in your car (Option D). It is important to note that even with a CWP, there are certain places where carrying a loaded gun in your car is still not allowed, such as government buildings, schools, and establishments that serve alcohol. Option C is incorrect because it is a blanket statement that does not consider the CWP requirement.
