Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in South Dakota?

Yes, a permit is always required
Yes, but only from a licensed dealer
No, but a background check is needed
No, no permit is required

The correct answer is: No, no permit is required

In South Dakota, no permit is required to purchase a handgun. South Dakota is a permitless carry state, which means individuals who are not prohibited by law from possessing a firearm can carry a handgun without a permit. This distinguishes South Dakota from states that require a permit to purchase a handgun. It is important for individuals to be aware of the specific firearms laws in their state to ensure they are in compliance with legal requirements.
