Gov. Daugaard signs change to concealed weapons law |
PIERRE -- Gov. Dennis Daugaard has signed a bill that will allow legal immigrants in South Dakota to conceal and carry a handgun.
The old version of the law limited concealed weapons permits to United States residents. British immigrant Wayne Smith sued the state in January with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union when the state denied him a permit.
The Legislature then introduced a measure to change the law so it included legal residents of the United States. It passed almost unanimously in both the House and the Senate.
A federal judge ruled in Smith's favor in February. The ACLU says Smith has since gotten his permit.
