What is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in South Dakota without supervision?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 14 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In South Dakota, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 18 years old. Option B (21 years old), C (16 years old), and D (14 years old) are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum age requirement. It is important to note that in some states, such as Alaska and Maine, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun is 16 years old with the written consent of a parent or legal guardian. However, in South Dakota, no such exception exists and persons must be at least 18 years old to possess and transport a handgun without supervision.
