South Dakota Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

South Dakota is a 'shall issue' state for concealed carry permits. What does 'shall issue' mean?

Applicants must demonstrate a specific need for a permit

Permits are issued at the discretion of local authorities

Permits are issued to anyone who meets legal requirements

'Permits are issued to anyone who meets legal requirements'. In a 'shall issue' state, the issuing authority must issue a permit to any applicant who meets the necessary requirements. This means that the state cannot use discretion or subjectivity in deciding who is eligible for a concealed carry permit. Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest that there are additional requirements or restrictions beyond legal ones. Option D is also incorrect because it implies that permits are not issued at all, which contradicts the definition of a 'shall issue' state.
