Does South Dakota require a background check for private gun sales?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. Yes, but only for handguns

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

While South Dakota does require background checks for all handgun purchases from a licensed dealer, they do not require them for private sales. Option A and B are incorrect because they mention only handguns, whereas the question is asking about all firearms. Option D is incorrect because it specifies only at gun shows, but private sales outside of gun shows in South Dakota also do not require background checks.
