Can you OC or CC a cap & ball gun such as the NAA Mini revolver in SC without a permit?  For that matter any C&B gun.  They are considered antique firearms whether made before or after 1898 and not classified as pistols or handguns.

I previously did the searching you recommended and came up with these.  I am just wondering how they do apply.


SECTION 16-23-10

(1) "Handgun" means any firearm designed to expel a projectile and designed to be fired from the hand, but shall not include any firearm generally recognized or classified as an antique, curiosity, or collector's item, or any that does not fire fixed cartridges.




SECTION 23-31-110

(a) "Pistol" means any firearm designed to expel a projectile and designed to be fired from the hand, but shall not include any firearm generally recognized or classified as an antique, curiosity, or collector's item, or any that does not fire fixed cartridges.



SECTION 16-23-210.

(f) "Antique firearm" means any firearm not designed or redesigned for using rim fire or conventional center fire ignition with fixed ammunition and manufactured in or before 1898 (including any matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system or replica thereof, whether actually manufactured before or after the year 1898) and also any firearm using fixed ammunition manufactured in or before 1898, for which ammunition is no longer manufactured in the United States and is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.

If you were to OC a C&B pistol, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to carry a copy of that law in your pocket...

I usually don't come down on people and the choice of weapons. But thats seems impractical. Why? Just wondering.
