In the state of south carolina is a permit required to own a gun and ammunition? And can you carry it as long as it is not concealed, on a hiking trip for ex.?

Not Legal Advice: Yes. A permit should be issued to an owner of a handgun in SC. It depends on the laws on that hiking place. Some won't allow a concealed gun.
