About Concealed Weapons Instruction in South Carolina
![[concealed weapons permit]](/images/ball026.gif){kind=small}
By South Carolina State law, to meet the
requirements for obtaining a concealed weapons permit applicants must
attend an eight hour course of instruction. This course must be taught by
a S.L.E.D. approved instructor and includes a specific body of information
as well as a live fire qualification and written exam. GrassRoots
Concealed Weapons Permit Instructors provide full instruction, firearms,
and materials to meet these requirements and complete the necessary form
for you to submit with your Concealed Weapons Permit application. Bring a
positive attitude and prepare for a day of fun!
