What requirement is necessary for a South Dakota resident to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer?

  1. Completion of a firearms safety course

  2. Passing a state-administered background check

  3. Possessing a South Dakota concealed carry permit

  4. No special requirements beyond federal law

The correct answer is: No special requirements beyond federal law

In South Dakota, a resident can purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer without any special requirements beyond federal law. This means that as long as the buyer meets the federal requirements for purchasing a firearm, such as passing a background check, they do not need to fulfill any additional state-specific requirements like completing a firearms safety course or holding a concealed carry permit. This simplifies the process for South Dakota residents looking to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer.
