In South Dakota, who is eligible to apply for a concealed carry permit?

Anyone over the age of 18
Only military personnel
Residents over the age of 21
Non-residents with property in the state

The correct answer is: Residents over the age of 21

In South Dakota, only residents who are 21 years or older are eligible to apply for a concealed carry permit. This is because South Dakota law requires that individuals be at least 21 years old to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Option A is incorrect because while 18 is the minimum age required to possess a firearm in South Dakota, it is not the minimum age for a concealed carry permit. Option B is incorrect because while active duty military personnel are exempt from the 21-year-old age requirement, they must still be residents of South Dakota to be eligible for a concealed carry permit. Option D is incorrect because while non-residents can apply for a South Dakota concealed carry permit, they must be at least 21 years old and do not need to own property in the state.
