What is required to carry a concealed pistol in South Dakota?

  1. Concealed Pistol Permit

  2. Background Check Certification

  3. Firearms Safety Course Completion

  4. No permit is required

The correct answer is: No permit is required

In South Dakota, it is not required to have a Concealed Pistol Permit (Choice A) to carry a concealed pistol. The state follows a constitutional carry law, meaning that no permit is required to carry a concealed pistol for residents or non-residents who are legally allowed to possess a firearm. While completing a firearms safety course (Choice C) is always recommended for responsible gun ownership, it is not a legal requirement to carry a concealed pistol in South Dakota. Additionally, a background check certification (Choice B) is not a standalone requirement for carrying a concealed pistol in the state. Therefore, the correct answer is D: No permit is required.
