It is illegal to own playing cards or dice. It is also illegal to play any game using them in an outhouse, field, tavern, barn, kitchen etc etc etc ...
SECTION 16-19-40. Unlawful games and betting.

Charleston allows beer and wine sales on Sunday. Most of SC doesn't, I believe only 7 counties do.
Liquor stores are heavily regulated by the state.
Motorcyclists are not required to wear helmets.
Drivers are not required to stop for a school bus if it is on a 4 lane road with a median if traveling in the opposite direction of the stopped bus.
This is a conceal carry state.
You can't have alcohol on public beaches. This now includes Folly Beach.
As OldTomCat pointed out recently, you're still allowed to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sunday.
Charleston allows beer and wine sales on Sunday. Most of SC doesn't, I believe only 7 counties do. A lot more allow it now, city by city town by town they are overruling this law.
Liquor stores are heavily regulated by the state. No biggy here most states are this way, but you can buy beer and wine in the grocery stores..
Motorcyclists are not required to wear helmets. Absolutely not true, if you are over 21yo you do not have to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle on the street, I don't think seatbelts should be a law either but that is just the Libertarian in me...
Drivers are not required to stop for a school bus if it is on a 4 lane road with a median if traveling in the opposite direction of the stopped bus. You forgot the other part of this law that says that school buses are not allowed to let kids out to cross that four lane road they have to go around to the other side of the road, so it doesn't make any sense to stop traffic on the other side of the road...
This is a conceal carry state. Absolutely nothing at all wrong with this law, it should be this way throughout the country....
You can't have alcohol on public beaches. This now includes Folly Beach. Here we actually agree this is stupid...
As OldTomCat pointed out recently, you're still allowed to beat your wife on the court house steps on Sunday. This one is just down right funny, lets see you try it....
