CWP Class & Pistol Choices
SC Concealed Weapons Permit application
Our goal is to help you obtain your SC Concealed Weapons Permit. Suggestion: visit www.sled.sc.gov/ , click on the Concealed Weapons Permit Program button and open CWP Application form. Take a few moments to carefully review and read the form. Explore the other SC CWP information there. Please download SAFER's CWP Details & Registration form. See above under section: Costs - Details - Next step.
Handgun Choices
You may already own a handgun you plan to carry concealed. Whether you have or have not yet bought a handgun, it is suggested that you visit SharpShooters Indoor Range & Gun Club (includes a gun store; location and phone above) before you buy (or buy again), and explore your options, including actually firing (for a small fee) several handguns, as you evaluate various factors such as price/value, size/hand fit, recoil, and ammunition caliber prices. You may be surprised at the good quality of some less expensive handguns. SAFER recommends that you always check with a local gun store before you make an online purchase.
About
Non-intimidating, Kind, Basic Handgun Instruction
Safe, basic, kind, handgun training at a fair price. SAFER ideal class size is 6, though a smaller group may be acceptable; more are allowed in some circumstances. (Please see costs, details ... section above.) Women, senior citizens, beginning shooters and those with prior experience are welcome in class, as are other law abiding citizens who meet prerequisites and legal criteria.
One must have a crime free record, and a clean, non-crime record to obtain a SC Concealed Weapons Permit. SC SLED will conduct a thorough background check on each CWP applicant. Usually one must be at least 18 years of age to submit a CWP application to SLED. Some under 18 may be allowed to take the CWP class.
WHY: Your God-given right of self defense, defense of family and other innocents includes the moral, righteous use of firearms as adequate self defense. This basic human right is recognized, not granted, by our Second Amendment, and it is wise for you to learn the safe, skilled use of pistols. It is your responsibility to protect yourself, your family and possibly others as an actual first responder to violence. Of course, using a gun in self defense should be considered a last resort. You are responsible and accountable for your gun(s) and for every bullet you fire. Basic handgun training is important. Choose - now - to invest in making you and yours SAFER!
*** Though law-abiding citizens of SC may now carry in many - NOT All - places without a CWP, wise carriers will want to get their CWP to learn SC law related to handguns and the legal use of deadly force, gain reciprocity with some other states, and make purchasing a firearm from a dealer much easier. ***
Get your concealed weapons permit soon! And continue to build your handgun skills while you stay current with new related legislation. Yes, this involves some time and money, like many other worthwhile goals. Join over 526,000 South Carolinians who have their active CWPs.
Maintain and build your skills by further training, and remember to practice well, like you would need to shoot, because you will draw, shoot and reload like you have practiced.

“Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.” - Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms (1775)
If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism. - Thomas Sowell
To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them....
- Richard Henry Lee, 1787
The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.
- George Washington, 1st President of the United States
A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.
- George Washington, 1st President of the United States
While a Constitution may set forth rights and liberties, only the citizens can maintain and guarantee those freedoms. Active and informed citizenship is not just a right; it is a duty.
- Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States
