Daugaard vetoed the measure because, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sd.gov\/newsitem.aspx?id=21630\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"south-dakota-governor-vetoes-constitutional-carry-bill\" title=\"South Dakota Governor Vetoes Constitutional Carry Bill\">his letter<\/a> to lawmakers, current concealed carry permit laws do not infringe on the Second Amendment and have effectively stopped ineligible persons from obtaining permits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am unaware of a single instance in which a person who could lawfully possess a gun was denied a permit to carry a concealed pistol,\u201d Daugaard said in the letter.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that a standard concealed carry permit can be obtained \u201cin a matter of minutes,\u201d which, while technically not true, does reflect the ease with which South Dakotans can acquire a permit.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many states, <a href=\"https:\/\/sdsos.gov\/services-for-individuals\/concealed-pistol-permits\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"south-dakota-governor-vetoes-constitutional-carry-bill\" title=\"South Dakota Governor Vetoes Constitutional Carry Bill\">South Dakota<\/a> does not require fingerprints or the completion of a concealed carry class to receive a permit. Residents simply fill out a form and submit it to their local sheriff, who must issue a regular temporary permit within five days from the date of application. The application fee is $10.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/sdsos.gov\/services-for-individuals\/assets\/PermitSpecifications.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"south-dakota-governor-vetoes-constitutional-carry-bill\" title=\"South Dakota Governor Vetoes Constitutional Carry Bill\">\u201cenhanced\u201d concealed carry license<\/a> does require fingerprinting and a class, which allows enhanced license holders to carry concealed in six more states than regular permit holders.<\/p>\n<p>Even with such minimal oversight, South Dakotan authorities have been able to bar prohibited persons from obtaining concealed carry permits, according to Daugaard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur permit laws are effective in screening people who are not eligible to carry a concealed weapon. Over the last three years, Minnehaha and Pennington Counties have turned down nearly 600 permit applicants who were disqualified due to mental illness or due to violent or drug-related crimes,\u201d Daugaard asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Proponents of constitutional carry point to the text of the Second Amendment to argue that any concealed carry requirements\u2014no matter how minimal\u2014infringe upon the right to bear arms.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are permit requirements unconstitutional, but they also argue they do little to keep law-abiding citizens safe. South Dakota Rep. Lynne DiSanto (R), who introduced HB 1072, noted on her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lynnedisantoforhouse\/posts\/1703789402981463\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"south-dakota-governor-vetoes-constitutional-carry-bill\" title=\"South Dakota Governor Vetoes Constitutional Carry Bill\">Facebook page<\/a> that criminals don\u2019t adhere to permit requirements to carry concealed firearms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPennington County has had 5 murders in 71 days, and yet our Sheriff, Kevin Thom, was opposed to constitutional carry,\u201d she said. \u201cConstitutional carry is about giving the law-abiding citizens the right to carry the way they choose and protect themselves.
