What must individuals do if they move to South Carolina with firearms?

Individuals moving to South Carolina with firearms are not required to register their firearms with the state or take specific actions regarding their existing firearms. South Carolina does not have a firearm registration law, meaning that once you move to the state, there are no legal obligations to register your guns or to take any specific action regarding them.

The law allows residents to possess their firearms freely, provided they comply with any applicable laws regarding firearm ownership and carry, such as obtaining a Concealed Weapons Permit (CWP) if they plan to carry a concealed weapon. However, this is not a requirement for moving into the state or possessing firearms. As such, individuals can maintain their firearms without additional steps once they are legally in possession of them under South Carolina law.
