South Dakota Information on Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act
Attorney General’s Explanation of Law on Possession of Firearms in Vehicles

The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004 made an amendment on the federal criminal code to allow qualified police officers with photo identification cards to carry concealed firearms. Such amendment shall not supersede the state laws that allow private entities to restrict carrying of concealed handguns within their properties and the laws that restrict possession of firearms within the properties of state and local governments.
