Are private firearm sales between individuals required to undergo a background check in South Dakota?

Yes, for all firearm sales
No, only for sales at gun shows
Yes, for sales involving handguns only
No, private sales are not subject to background checks

The correct answer is: No, private sales are not subject to background checks

In South Dakota, private firearm sales between individuals are not required to undergo a background check. This means that individuals can freely buy and sell firearms to each other without the need for a background check. It is important for individuals engaging in private firearm sales to ensure that they are following all other state and federal laws related to firearms to stay compliant and responsible. Option A is incorrect because not all firearm sales in South Dakota require a background check, especially private sales between individuals. Option B is incorrect because background check requirements are not limited to gun shows in South Dakota. Option C is incorrect as it specifies that only handgun sales are subject to background checks, which is not the case for private sales between individuals in the state.
