Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in South Dakota?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for residents

  4. Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

In South Dakota, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. This is because South Dakota is a permitless or constitutional carry state, meaning that individuals who are not prohibited from owning firearms are allowed to carry a handgun without a permit. This freedom extends to the purchase of handguns as well, making option B the correct answer.
