Excepciones a la regulación de armas de fuego en Carolina del Sur

Explicación Simple

Imagina que el oficial de policía Juan necesita un rifle de asalto para una misión especial. Según esta ley, él puede tenerlo porque es parte de su trabajo y está autorizado para usarlo. Sin embargo, si un amigo de Juan quisiera tener el mismo rifle, no podría hacerlo legalmente.
