In South Dakota, is a permit required to carry a concealed handgun?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No, it's constitutional carry

  3. Only for residents

  4. Only in city limits

The correct answer is: No, it's constitutional carry

South Dakota is one of 22 states that have enacted constitutional carry laws, which allow individuals to carry concealed handguns without a permit. Option A is incorrect because it implies that a permit is always required, which is not the case in South Dakota. Option C is incorrect because the state allows both residents and non-residents to carry without a permit. Option D is incorrect because, in addition to constitutional carry, the state also allows concealed carry with a permit in all areas of the state, not just within city limits.
