What must an individual do if they are stopped by a police officer while carrying a concealed weapon in South Carolina?

  1. Immediately hand the weapon to the officer for inspection

  2. Declare that they are carrying a concealed weapon and present their CWP

  3. Keep their hands visible and await instructions

  4. There is no specific requirement under South Carolina law

The correct answer is: Declare that they are carrying a concealed weapon and present their CWP

An individual must declare that they are carrying a concealed weapon and present their CWP if stopped by a police officer in South Carolina. Option A is incorrect because immediately handing the weapon to the officer without prior notification may cause confusion and potentially escalate the situation. Option C is incorrect because it does not specify that the individual should declare their concealed weapon and present their CWP. Option D is incorrect because South Carolina law specifically requires individuals to disclose their concealed weapon and present their CWP if stopped by a police officer.
