Under South Dakota law, which of the following scenarios would require a background check to transfer a firearm?

A sale between private individuals within the state
A firearm gifted between family members
A purchase from a licensed firearms dealer
An inheritance of a firearm

The correct answer is: A purchase from a licensed firearms dealer

In South Dakota, a background check is required when purchasing a firearm from a licensed firearms dealer. This is because licensed dealers are required to conduct background checks on prospective firearm purchasers to ensure that they are legally allowed to possess firearms. Private sales between individuals within the state, firearm gifts between family members, and inheritances of firearms do not require background checks under South Dakota law.
