Can non-residents purchase firearms in South Dakota?

  1. Yes, both handguns and long guns

  2. No, non-residents cannot purchase firearms

  3. Yes, but only long guns

  4. Yes, but only handguns

The correct answer is: Yes, but only long guns

Non-residents are not allowed to purchase handguns in South Dakota, only long guns. This is due to state laws and regulations, which prohibit the sale of handguns to individuals who are not residents of the state. While both residents and non-residents can purchase long guns in South Dakota, only residents can purchase handguns. Therefore, options A and D are incorrect as they state that both handguns and long guns can be purchased by non-residents. Option B is incorrect as it states that non-residents cannot purchase any firearms, which is not entirely true. Option C is the correct answer as it specifies that non-residents can purchase long guns, but not handguns.
