SECTION 23-31-330.Application and registration of person allowed to possess machine gun or sawed off shotgun or rifle.

(A) Every person permitted by Section 23-31-320 to possess a machine gun or sawed off shotgun or sawed off rifle, and any person elected or appointed to any office or position which entitles the person to possess a machine gun or sawed off shotgun or sawed off rifle, upon taking office, shall file with the State Law Enforcement Division on a blank to be supplied by the division on request an application which is properly sworn. The application must be approved by the sheriff of the county in which the applicant resides or has his principal place of business and include the applicant’s name, residence and business address, physical description, whether or not ever charged or convicted of any crime, municipal, state, or otherwise, and where, if charged, and when it was disposed of. The applicant shall also give a description including the serial number and make of the machine gun or sawed off shotgun or sawed off rifle which he possesses or desires to possess. The State Law Enforcement Division shall file the application in its office. The division shall register the applicant together with the information required in the application in a book or index to be kept for that purpose, assign to him a number, and issue to him a card which shall bear the signature of the applicant and which he shall keep with him while he has the machine gun or sawed off shotgun or sawed off rifle in his possession. This registration must be made on the date application is received and filed with the division. The registration expires on December thirty first of the year in which the license is issued.

SECTION 23-31-340. Penalties.

A person who violates the provisions of this article is guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than ten thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

This is from the SC website. However, this is a Federal Law.

. . .and as far as asking a cop ( or other official that knows the law ) and being worried about him being a "d#ckhead", the only stupid question is the one that is not asked. I wouldn't care if he was being difficult, you need to know right or wrong.

Hope this helps!
