Which of the following is NOT a valid reason for denial of a concealed pistol permit in South Dakota?

  1. Being convicted of a felony

  2. Having a history of substance abuse

  3. Lacking proficiency with a firearm

  4. Being adjudged mentally incompetent

The correct answer is: Lacking proficiency with a firearm

In South Dakota, a person may be denied a concealed pistol permit due to conviction of a felony, a history of substance abuse, or being adjudged mentally incompetent. However, lacking proficiency with a firearm is not considered a valid reason for denial. This means that even if a person is not skilled or knowledgeable about firearms, they may still be able to obtain a concealed pistol permit in South Dakota as long as they do not have any other disqualifying factors.
