South Dakota Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Does South Dakota require a permit to carry a concealed handgun?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only for residents of the state

4. Only outside city limits

The correct answer is: No

While South Dakota is a shall-issue state and allows for concealed carry with a permit, the state does not require a permit to carry a concealed handgun. Option A is incorrect because it implies that all residents are required to have a permit, which is not the case. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that only residents need a permit, when in reality non-residents can also obtain a permit in South Dakota. Option D is incorrect because it limits the requirement for a permit to only outside of city limits, when the law applies throughout the entire state. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as South Dakota does not require a permit for concealed carry.
