To whom does South Dakota's 'red flag' law allow to petition for the temporary removal of firearms?

  1. Family members only

  2. Law enforcement officials

  3. Both family members and law enforcement officials

  4. South Dakota does not have a 'red flag' law

The correct answer is: South Dakota does not have a 'red flag' law

In South Dakota, there is currently no 'red flag' law in place. This means that individuals, including family members and law enforcement officials, do not have the ability to petition for the temporary removal of firearms based on concerns about someone's mental health or potential risk for harming themselves or others. This distinction is important to understand when considering firearms regulations and the legal landscape in South Dakota regarding 'red flag' laws.
