Great news for SD residents! (http://articles.aberdeennews.com/2012-02-28/news/31109196_1_weapon-laws-police-chiefs-and-sheriffs-r-rapid-city) Keep your fingers crossed.
State senators gave final legislative approval today to a major change in South Dakota’s concealed weapon laws: Adults wouldn’t need to apply for a permit anymore.
The measure instead would require only that a person be at least age 18, have a South Dakota driver license and otherwise be eligible under existing state law.
The Senate voted 22-11 to send the legislation to Gov. Dennis Daugaard for his decision whether to sign it into law.
Rep. Betty Olson, R-Prairie City, was prime sponsor of the measure, House Bill 1248. It initially won approval from the House of Representatives 50-18 two weeks ago, and Sen. Larry Rhoden led the Senate debate for its passage today.
