Who is prohibited from possessing a firearm in South Dakota?

  1. Persons convicted of a felony

  2. Persons under the age of 18

  3. Non-resident aliens

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Persons convicted of a felony

In South Dakota, it is against the law for a person convicted of a felony to possess a firearm. This is because felons are considered a threat to public safety and giving them access to firearms can potentially be dangerous. Persons under the age of 18 and non-resident aliens are not specifically prohibited from possessing firearms in South Dakota, although there may be certain restrictions or regulations in place for these groups. Option D is incorrect because it implies that all three choices are prohibited from possessing firearms, when in fact only persons convicted of a felony fall under this category.
