South Dakota Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

When approached by law enforcement in South Dakota, a concealed permit holder must do what?

1. Nothing special is required

2. Immediately disclose they are carrying a firearm

3. Only disclose if asked by the officer

4. Surrender their firearm to the officer

The correct answer is: Immediately disclose they are carrying a firearm

Concealed permit holders in South Dakota are required to disclose to law enforcement if they are carrying a firearm. This is due to the state's laws, which require individuals to immediately disclose when stopped by a law enforcement officer. This is different from other states where concealed permit holders may not be required to disclose unless the officer specifically asks. Option A is incorrect because some action is required by the concealed permit holder. Option C is incorrect because the disclosure should be made immediately, without waiting for the officer to ask. Option D is incorrect because concealed permit holders are not required to surrender their firearm to the officer unless specifically instructed to do so by the officer.
