Need an educated answer on a South Carolina gun law?

About 5 years ago I had to have my sister buy a top of the line, high end pistol for me as a house warming present to myself. I wasn't able to purchase it myself due to somewhat minor run-ins with the police, judges, P.O's, and so on. I've gotten everything cleared up since then and I'm wondering how I would go about getting it transfered from her name into mine. Any knowledgeable people out there that could advise me on this?
 
South Carolina Gun Law:
It is unlawful to transfer a handgun in any manner to a person who is prohibited from possessing a handgun.

Possession
No state permit is required to possess a rifle, shotgun, or handgun. It is unlawful for the following persons to possess a handgun:

* Any person who has been convicted of a crime of violence.

* Any person who is a member of a subversive organization, fugitive from justice, habitual drunkard or drug addict or who has been adjudicated mentally incompetent.

* Any person under 21, but this does not apply to the temporary loan of a handgun for instruction purposes when the minor is under the immediate supervision of a parent or adult instructor, or members of the armed forces.

* Any person who had been adjudged unfit to carry or possess a handgun by an order of a circuit or county court judge.
 
Your sister violated a Federal Law by purchasing the gun for you under those circumstances.

If you have any felony convictions, or a misdemeanor Domestic Violence Conviction, then you can't own it legally, ever.

Get a lawyer and ask him or her.
