Which agency is primarily responsible for issuing concealed carry permits in South Dakota?

  1. Local police department

  2. State Highway Patrol

  3. County sheriff's office

  4. State Department of Justice

The correct answer is: County sheriff's office

The correct answer is the County sheriff's office. In South Dakota, the county sheriff's office is primarily responsible for issuing concealed carry permits. It is essential to apply for a concealed carry permit at the sheriff's office in the county where you reside as they are the ones responsible for processing and issuing these permits. Other agencies like the local police department, State Highway Patrol, and State Department of Justice do not typically handle concealed carry permit issuance in South Dakota.
