How long is a typical South Dakota concealed pistol permit valid before it needs renewal?

  1. 2 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 1 year

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

In South Dakota, a concealed pistol permit is valid for 5 years before it needs to be renewed. This option is the most common and widely recognized time frame for concealed pistol permits in the United States. Option A, 2 years, is too short of a time frame and would require frequent renewals. Option C, 1 year, is also too short and would require even more frequent renewals. Option D, 10 years, is too long and may not be in line with the state's laws and regulations for concealed pistol permits.
