Is it legal to openly carry a firearm in public in South Carolina?

  1. Yes, in most public places

  2. Yes, but only with a CWP

  3. No, it is illegal with few exceptions

  4. Only during hunting season

The correct answer is: No, it is illegal with few exceptions

In most cases, openly carrying a firearm in public in South Carolina is illegal. Option A suggests that it is legal in "most" public places, but this is not the case. Option B states that it is legal with a CWP (Carrying a Concealed Weapon Permit), which is partially true, but the question specifically asks about openly carrying, not concealed carrying. Option D mentions hunting season, but that is not relevant to the question as it asks about carrying in public, not specifically while hunting. Therefore, the correct answer is C as openly carrying a firearm in public in South Carolina is only legal in rare circumstances, such as when hunting or at a shooting range.
