Can individuals convicted of a felony possess firearms in South Dakota?

Yes, after a pardon
Yes, after serving their sentence
No, under any circumstances
Yes, if the felony was non-violent

The correct answer is: Yes, after a pardon

Individuals convicted of a felony are generally not allowed to possess firearms, but in South Dakota, they can possess firearms after receiving a pardon. A pardon is an official act of forgiveness that removes the legal consequences of a conviction. This process allows individuals with a felony conviction to have their right to possess firearms restored. Therefore, option A is correct. Options B, C, and D are incorrect. Individuals with felony convictions cannot possess firearms in South Dakota simply after serving their sentence, regardless of whether the felony was non-violent or under any circumstances without a pardon.
