What is the penalty for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit in South Carolina?

  1. Fine only

  2. Imprisonment only

  3. Fine and imprisonment

  4. Mandatory community service

The correct answer is: Fine and imprisonment

In South Carolina, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit is considered a misdemeanor offense. This means that the penalty can include both a fine and imprisonment. Option A and D are incorrect because they only list one type of penalty, and option B is incorrect because imprisonment alone is not the only possible consequence. Always check state laws and regulations regarding licensing and permits for carrying concealed weapons to avoid potential legal consequences.
