South Carolina Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What signage is required to prohibit concealed weapons in a specific location in South Carolina?

1. No signage is required; verbal notice is sufficient

2. A sign with specific dimensions and wording as defined by state law

3. A generic 'No Guns' sign

4. Any written notice posted at all entrances

The correct answer is: A sign with specific dimensions and wording as defined by state law

In South Carolina, a sign with specific dimensions and wording as defined by state law is required to prohibit concealed weapons in a specific location. This is because state law specifies the exact requirements for a sign to be legally valid in prohibiting concealed weapons. Option A is incorrect because verbal notice is not sufficient and may not be enforceable. Option C is incorrect because a generic sign may not be recognized as a valid notice by individuals who are legally carrying concealed weapons. Option D is incorrect because the written notice must specifically state the prohibition of concealed weapons, and may not be valid if it is not posted at all entrances.
