  1. Yes, 48 hours for handguns

  2. No waiting period

  3. Yes, 72 hours for all firearms

  4. Yes, 5 business days for handguns

The correct answer is: No waiting period

In South Dakota, there is no state-imposed waiting period after purchasing a firearm before taking possession. This means that once the required background check is completed and the sale is approved, the buyer can immediately take possession of the firearm. Option A is incorrect because there is no 48-hour waiting period specifically for handguns in South Dakota. Option C is also incorrect as there is no 72-hour waiting period for all firearms in the state. Option D is incorrect because there is no 5-business day waiting period for handguns in South Dakota.
