South Dakota “Constitutional Carry” Now in Effect
Bill Link: SB47
Effective Date: 7/1/2019
Overview: “Constitutional Carry” went into effect in South Dakota. The new law makes it legal to carry firearms concealed without a license and will also foster an environment more hostile to federal gun control.
Senate President Pro Tempore Brock L. Greenfield introduced Senate Bill 47 (SB47) with eight cosponsors from both chambers. The new law repeals numerous sections of state law requiring people to have a license in order to carry a concealed weapon, while still allowing county sheriffs to issue permits for people who want them for reciprocity with other states. Under the old law, it was a misdemeanor for someone to carry a concealed pistol or to have one concealed in a vehicle without a permit; openly carrying a firearm in South Dakota was legal. By signing SB47 into law, 155 years of bans or permits on the books have been swept away.
While permitless carry bills do not directly affect federal gun control, the widespread passage of permitless conceal carry laws in states subtly undermines federal efforts to regulate guns. As we’ve seen with marijuana and industrial hemp, a federal regulation becomes ineffective when states ignore it and pass laws encouraging the prohibited activity anyway. The federal government lacks the enforcement power necessary to maintain its ban, and people will willingly take on the small risk of federal sanctions if they know the state will not interfere. This increases when the state actively encourages “the market.”
