Is open carry of firearms legal in South Dakota?

Yes, without any permit
Yes, but only with a permit
No, it is completely illegal
Only during hunting season

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

Open carry of firearms is fully legal in South Dakota without the need of a permit. This is due to the state's "constitutional carry" law, which allows individuals to openly carry firearms in public without any special permits or licenses. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all state that some type of permit or restriction is required. Additionally, South Dakota does not have any restrictions on open carry during hunting season, thus making option D incorrect as well.
