Are individuals allowed to open carry a firearm in South Dakota without a permit?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only non-residents

  4. Only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes

In South Dakota, open carry of a firearm is allowed without a permit for both residents and non-residents. This means that option C, which states that only non-residents are allowed to open carry without a permit, is incorrect. Option D, which states that open carry is only allowed in rural areas, is also incorrect as open carry is allowed throughout the state. Option B, which states that open carry without a permit is not allowed at all, is incorrect as well. This is because South Dakota is a constitutional carry state, meaning that a permit is not required to openly carry a firearm. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it accurately states that individuals are allowed to open carry a firearm in South Dakota without a permit.
