Looks like a sign prohibiting weapons carries the weight of law.(11) place clearly marked with a sign prohibiting the carrying of a concealable weapon on the premises in compliance with Section 23-31-235. A person who violates a provision of this item, whether the violation is wilful or not, only may be charged with a violation of Section 16-11-620 and must not be charged with or penalized for a violation of this subsection.
Yes, and it's a steep one with jail time by ignoring it. The signs do have to meet exact criteria though, and the signs is in the bullseye now for SC gun folk. It is one of the weird things, some of the most pro-gun states have similar laws where ignoring signs has it's own penalty beyond trespassing if you refuse to leave.Looks like a sign prohibiting weapons carries the weight of law.
It references individuals and not residents, so yea anyone (non-prohibited) 18 and older.Anyone know if it applies to non SC residents? My friend still maintains residency in MD but has second home in SC.
