What must individuals do before purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in South Dakota?

  1. Complete a firearms safety course

  2. Obtain a state ID card

  3. Undergo a background check

  4. Register for a handgun license

The correct answer is: Undergo a background check

Before purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in South Dakota, individuals must undergo a background check. This process is required to ensure that the individual is legally allowed to possess a firearm and does not have any disqualifying factors that would prevent them from purchasing a handgun. Background checks are a crucial part of the process to help promote safety and responsible gun ownership. Completing a firearms safety course, obtaining a state ID card, and registering for a handgun license are not requirements for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in South Dakota. These are separate processes or requirements that do not directly apply to the initial purchase of a handgun.
