What is required for an out-of-state visitor to South Dakota to legally carry a concealed handgun within the state?

  1. A South Dakota concealed carry permit

  2. An out-of-state concealed carry permit

  3. Proof of handgun proficiency

  4. No permit if the person is eligible to carry concealed in their home state

The correct answer is: No permit if the person is eligible to carry concealed in their home state

An out-of-state visitor to South Dakota must meet several criteria in order to legally carry a concealed handgun within the state. Option D is the only correct answer because it mentions eligibility to carry concealed in their home state. This means that the visitor must already have a valid, legal permit to carry a concealed handgun in their home state. Options A and B are incorrect because they reference obtaining a South Dakota or out-of-state concealed carry permit, which would not be applicable to an out-of-state visitor. Option C is also incorrect because although proof of handgun proficiency is required for obtaining a concealed carry permit in South Dakota, it is not the only requirement for an out-of-state visitor to legally carry a concealed handgun in the state. Therefore, the only correct option is D.
