In South Dakota, who is responsible for issuing concealed carry permits?

  1. Local police department

  2. South Dakota Attorney General

  3. County sheriff's office

  4. Department of Public Safety

The correct answer is: County sheriff's office

In South Dakota, concealed carry permits are issued by the county sheriff's office. This responsibility is given to the county sheriff's office as they are normally the ones who handle firearm permits and licensing within their jurisdiction. It is important for individuals applying for a concealed carry permit to contact their local county sheriff's office for the application process and requirements. The other options are incorrect because: - The local police department is not responsible for issuing concealed carry permits in South Dakota. - The South Dakota Attorney General does not issue concealed carry permits; this responsibility falls on the county sheriff's office. - The Department of Public Safety also does not issue concealed carry permits in South Dakota; once again, this responsibility lies with the county sheriff's office.
