How long is a South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) valid?

A South Carolina Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) is valid for 5 years. This is due to the fact that the state of South Carolina requires individuals to renew their CWP every 5 years, which aligns with the expiration date listed on the permit. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest different time frames for the validity of a CWP in South Carolina. Option A suggests 2 years which is too short of a period, and option C suggests 10 years which is too long of a period for the validity of a CWP. Option D, "Indefinitely," is also incorrect because the state does not allow for indefinite validity of CWPs and requires individuals to renew every 5 years. Option B is the most accurate and therefore the correct answer.
