Under the current system, people who want to carry a concealed weapon have to pay $10 and undergo a background check in order to get their permit.

Which is still much less restrictive than most other states.
Good for South Dakota!

If Rep. Don Kopp gets his way, they wont need a permit.
Not exactly true. You will still need the permit for interstate reciprocity.
Don is one of my state representatives from district 35 and a very good one. We may not agree on everything, but I voted for him and have absolutely no regrets. When he met me in my driveway while first running for office, I was impressed by his conservative principles.
One of the big issues in a state with a super majority of Republicans, is the number of RINO’s in leadership and among the rank and file. Some would say who needs democrats when you have a legislature full of RINO’s.
I whole-heartedly agree with Mr Kopp. Now, let's get this one settled, and move forward to the rest of past legislation that is patently unconstitutional.
Good for SD - hope they set an example for the rest of the states
As for the cost of a concealed permit, the first time applicant is going to have to pay at least $100 for the class then I think another $85 to $100 for the permit fees......
