What type of firearm permit is offered by South Dakota?

  1. Concealed Firearm Permit

  2. Open Carry Permit

  3. Concealed Carry Weapons Permit

  4. Firearm Owners Identification Card

The correct answer is: Concealed Carry Weapons Permit

In South Dakota, the type of firearm permit offered is known as a Concealed Carry Weapons Permit (CCW). This permit allows individuals to carry concealed handguns in the state. It is essential to distinguish between a Concealed Firearm Permit and a Concealed Carry Weapons Permit, as the latter encompasses a wider range of concealed weapons beyond just firearms. The Open Carry Permit is not a separate permit in South Dakota, as the state allows open carry without a permit for those who are legally allowed to possess a firearm. Finally, a Firearm Owners Identification Card is a term typically used in other states such as Illinois, but it is not relevant to firearm permits in South Dakota.
