Since March 2024, individuals aged 18 and older who are legally allowed to own a handgun may carry it openly or concealed in South Carolina without a permit. The Concealed Weapons Permit, issued by SLED after a training course, remains optional and beneficial for reciprocity with other states. Carry is prohibited in schools, courthouses, law enforcement offices, and on posted private property, with stricter penalties in some locations.
Deer seasons in South Carolina are organized by Game Zone, with coastal zones opening as early as August 15. The upstate mountain zone opens later in the fall, and most zones close by January 1. Legal firearms during the gun season include rifles, shotguns, handguns, and muzzleloaders. Recent changes in bag limits, antlerless days, and tagging rules necessitate checking the latest SCDNR regulations and Game Zone map for your county.
Greenville County is part of South Carolina's mountain Game Zone, which has a later opening date than the coastal zones. Public ranges are managed by SCDNR in nearby Pickens and Spartanburg counties.
Hunters in the Upstate area frequent the mountain WMAs of the Jocassee Gorges and Sumter National Forest. The SCDNR-operated range in Pickens County is a convenient drive west.
Public ranges on the city pages are those run or listed by the state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, chosen by distance from each city. Fees, license requirements and hours are set by the agency and change with the seasons.
