Anyone want to take a shot at my chances? I'd really like to stay in this black hole we call South Carolina.

Thanks in advance!

You should be golden for South Carolina with an above median GPA and an LSAT higher than the 75th percentile. If you are really practicing at the 170+ level though I highly encourage a retake: if you decide to limit yourself to South Carolina a score like that would guarantee you a nice scholarship, and that score would also make many t14s a possibility. Even with your numbers as they are now you could get into a better school than South Carolina, but if you're set on staying in the state then you should have nothing to worry about.

In with scholarship money.

Also, would a particularly bad grade (c) in a Constitutional Law class kill my chances?

Thanks for the replies!

No. They care only about your LSAC GPA, they won't give a damn about a single grade in any class you took.

Yah it probably will. AdCommies will see it as un ability to comprehend law and Con Law is the most interesting easy to understand law in existance. They look at all sort of things and ability and definitely in easy classes is one of them things.
