What is the legal Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) limit for carrying a firearm in South Dakota?

  1. 0.00%

  2. 0.02%

  3. 0.08%

  4. No established limit

The correct answer is: 0.08%

In South Dakota, individuals who carry a firearm are subject to the same legal BAC limit as individuals operating a motor vehicle, which is 0.08%. This means that if you have a BAC of 0.08% or higher, you are considered legally impaired and it is illegal to carry a firearm. Option A is incorrect because 0.00% is impossible as alcohol can naturally be present in the human body. Option B is incorrect because while 0.02% is a legal BAC limit for individuals driving commercial vehicles in South Dakota, it does not apply to carrying a firearm. Option D is incorrect because there is indeed an established limit for carrying a firearm in the state, which is 0.08%.
