[p95_9mm]

I'm having a little trouble understanding the carry laws of SD. It really doesnt say in the handbook where your allowed to carry, Like stores, malls, Walmart things like that, Anyone from SD that can tell me anything about where its legal to carry in this state?

 

[Brunay]

according to Handgunlaw.us, places off-limits are:

* any licensed on-sale malt beverage or alcoholic beverage establishment that derives over one-half of its total income from the sale of malt or alcoholic beverages.

* courthouses

* elementary or secondary school premises or vehicle

If it is not listed as no carry by state law than you can carry there. That means yes you can carry in Walmart (I do it all the time)

You CANNOT carry in a bar, A restaurant with a liquor license is ok just don't go in the actual bar area.

You CANNOT carry in a courthouse.

You CANNOT carry on school property.

You CAN open carry without a permit.

If the law does not restrict you from carrying in a specific place then you CAN carry there.

The actual South Dakota Codified Statutes are here:

Any more Questions?

Hold the Phone, The last i knew u couldn't open carry cause it was against the law, and does the metal detector go off at Walmart?

As a SD resident I can tell you that you can carry all places except the ones mentioned before. There are business' that have a no weapons policy posted when you enter and here if you carry and they find out they will cask you to leave but not take any criminal action unless you are a jackass to them about it and then will have to deal with local law enforcement, but guessing that isn't generally a problem. I've carried concealed almost every day since i turned 18 (legal age for permit in SD) and commonly carry in shopping centers and even banks with no issue.

How about places with metal detectors??

 

[tandem]

I can say Ive been all over the state and the only places Ive ran into the had metal detectors were airports and gov. buildings where you cant carry anyway so never ran into that problem.

The reason why i ask cause i know Walmart has one!!

 

[tandem]

Is it a metal detector or a anti -theft rfid security stands by the door? It would take all day to stop everyone who came in that had metal on them (think car keys and pocket knifes) most likely that is what it is, granted it has been a couple months since i was last in wally world in sf but i didn't have a issue then.

fftopic: Slightly off-topic, but just how is the average Joe supposed to determine what percentage of income an establichment derives from alcohol sales?!?

Good question. NE has similar wording. Guess you could ask them, but I'm not gonna. If I have doubts, I just don't go there.

For some establishments, it's easy. Are they a restaurant that serves alcohol (probably okay) or a bar that serves food (probably not okay)?

 

[JSDinTexas]

Easy in Texas

fftopic: Slightly off-topic, but just how is the average Joe supposed to determine what percentage of income an establichment derives from alcohol sales?!?

In Texas they make it easy by posting an official sign. You can not be armed in an establishment that has one - and if there is a partition between the bar where the sign is and the restaurant, you can be armed in the restaurant part.

 

[The Realist]

Those are not metal detectors at Walmart. They are anti theft detectors. What they react to is that little white magnetically encoded strip placed in or on the more expensive or easily pilferable items. I have walked through them numerous times while carrying and nothing happens.

 

[p95_9mm]

That makes it easy in Texas, but do they do the same in South Dakota?

Not that i know of!! good question though!

Just use a little common sense in South Dakota. Bars =no Restaraunt that serves booze = yes. But to be safe do not enter the actual bar area of the restaraunt.

Walked right through the doors at the east side Wally World while carrying a Beretta 92FS with a full 15 round mag today and NOTHING happened. Must not be metal detectors.
