The correct answer is: A pistol in a holster on the belt under a coat

A knife with a 3-inch blade does not qualify as a concealed weapon in South Carolina as it is considered an open carry weapon.

A rifle displayed in a vehicle window is not considered a concealed weapon as it is visible to the public.
