Can non-residents apply for a South Dakota Concealed Carry Weapons Permit?

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but only if they are from a contiguous state
Yes, but they need to own property in South Dakota
No, only South Dakota residents can apply

The correct answer is: Yes, but only if they are from a contiguous state

Non-residents can apply for a South Dakota Concealed Carry Weapons Permit, but only if they are from a contiguous state. Contiguous states are those that share a common border with South Dakota, which currently includes North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Montana, and Wyoming. This provision allows individuals from neighboring states to apply for a permit in South Dakota, making it more accessible for those who frequently travel between these states. Option A is incorrect because there are restrictions for non-residents applying for a South Dakota Concealed Carry Weapons Permit. Option C is also incorrect because owning property in South Dakota is not a requirement for non-residents to apply for a permit. Option D is incorrect as well because non-residents from contiguous states are eligible to apply for the permit.
