  2. Yes, but only after a set period

  3. No, they are prohibited from owning firearms

The correct answer is: No, they are prohibited from owning firearms

Individuals convicted of a felony in South Dakota are prohibited from owning firearms. This is due to a federal law that prohibits felons from possessing firearms. Option A is incorrect because even if they have served their sentence, they are still barred from owning a firearm. Option B is incorrect because there is no set period of time after which a felon can own a firearm. Option D is incorrect because even if the conviction is expunged, the federal law still applies and they are prohibited from possessing a firearm. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
