Can non-residents apply for a South Dakota concealed pistol permit?

  1. Yes, if they are from states with reciprocity agreements only

  2. No, non-residents cannot apply

  3. Yes, but only for military personnel stationed in South Dakota

  4. Yes, if they have property in the state

The correct answer is: Yes, but only for military personnel stationed in South Dakota

Non-residents can apply for a South Dakota concealed pistol permit, but only military personnel stationed in South Dakota are eligible to do so. This eligibility is a special provision specific to military personnel stationed in the state. Option A is incorrect because non-residents from states with reciprocity agreements can also apply for a South Dakota permit, not just military personnel. Option B is inaccurate as non-residents indeed have the opportunity to apply for a permit. Option D is incorrect, as having property in the state does not grant non-residents eligibility for a concealed pistol permit in South Dakota.
