Can local governments in South Dakota enact their own gun control laws?

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but only with state approval
No, state law preempts local ordinances
Yes, but only related to discharge ordinances

The correct answer is: No, state law preempts local ordinances

Local governments in South Dakota are restricted from enacting their own gun control laws due to state law preempting local ordinances. This means that the state law on gun control takes precedence over any local ordinances that may be in conflict with it. This helps to ensure consistency and uniformity in gun laws across the state, preventing a patchwork of regulations that could vary from one locality to another.
