South Dakota residents will be allowed to carry concealed handguns without a permit under a bill passed by the state legislature that is now awaiting the Governor’s approval or veto.

If Governor Kristi Noem signs the bill, South Dakota will become the 14th state to allow residents to carry firearms without a specific permit—sometimes called “constitutional carry.”
