South Dakota has become the latest state to remove permit requirements for gun owners to carry and conceal their weapons. "This constitutional carry legislation will further protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding South Dakotans." Democrats and law enforcement officials opposed the new law, calling for it to be limited to South Dakota residents, according to the Hill. South Dakota is the 14th state to remove the concealed carry permit requirement. State senators voted 22-10 this week against a bill that would have let permit holders carry guns in the Statehouse and other state buildings.
