Why Would I Want a CWP With SC Being a Constitutional Carry State?
- Carry laws are complex and come with stricter penalties for those without a permit.
- Carrying a firearm is a lifestyle that takes time to figure out. Our CWP class gets you from 0 to 60 in just a few hours. No trial and error. No guesswork. Thirty years of experience delivered to you in a few hours.
- You need a SC CWP if you want to carry outside of the state.
- Background checks are not necessary when purchasing firearms with a CWP. This simplifies the buying processes significantly. No delays or denials.
- Ignorantly carrying a gun without being taught the proper mindset is foolish and can have disastrous consequences.
