Who is prohibited from owning a firearm in South Dakota?

Anyone under 18
Fugitives from justice
All non-U.S. citizens
Anyone without a hunting license

The correct answer is: Fugitives from justice

Fugitives from justice are prohibited from owning a firearm in South Dakota because allowing them to possess firearms could pose a risk to public safety. Fugitives from justice are individuals who have fled from the law to avoid being arrested, prosecuted, or imprisoned for a crime they have committed. Therefore, it is important to restrict their access to firearms to prevent potential harm or criminal activity. Regarding the other options: - Anyone under 18 may be able to own a firearm with parental consent and supervision. - Not all non-U.S. citizens are prohibited from owning firearms in South Dakota, as legal residents can own firearms in compliance with state and federal laws. - A hunting license is not usually a requirement for owning a firearm in South Dakota.
