# SB47 Summary SB47 repeals South Dakota's requirement that citizens obtain a permit before carrying a concealed pistol and instead allows permitless carry for law-abiding residents. The bill eliminates the application process and fees previously required to get a concealed carry permit. This means South Dakota residents can now carry concealed handguns without first getting government approval, though the state may still maintain an optional permit system for those who want one for reciprocity purposes with other states.
