Are background checks required for private gun sales in South Dakota?

Yes, in all cases
Yes, but only for handguns
No
Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

While federal law does require licensed firearms dealers to conduct background checks on prospective buyers, South Dakota does not currently have any state laws that require background checks for private gun sales. All background checks are voluntary and at the discretion of the seller. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they suggest that background checks are required in some form, which is not the case in South Dakota.
