Is it legal for a non-resident to purchase a handgun in South Dakota?

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but they must have a permit from their home state
No, only South Dakota residents may purchase handguns
Yes, but the handgun must be shipped to a licensed dealer in their home state

The correct answer is: No, only South Dakota residents may purchase handguns

Only South Dakota residents are legally allowed to purchase handguns in the state. This means that options A, B, and D are all incorrect. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that anyone, including non-residents, can purchase a handgun without any restrictions. Option B is incorrect because it implies that non-residents can still purchase a handgun with the condition of having a permit from their home state. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that non-residents can purchase a handgun, but it must be shipped to a licensed dealer in their home state. However, as mentioned, only South Dakota residents are allowed to make the initial purchase of a handgun in the state.
