When transporting a firearm in a vehicle without a concealed pistol permit, the firearm must be:

  1. Unloaded and within the driver's reach

  2. Loaded and hidden under the seat

  3. Unloaded and locked in the trunk or a case

  4. Loaded and openly displayed on the dashboard

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in the trunk or a case

When transporting a firearm in a vehicle without a concealed pistol permit in South Dakota, it is important to ensure that the firearm is not readily accessible. The correct answer is to transport the firearm unloaded and locked in the trunk or in a secure case. This practice ensures safety and compliance with South Dakota gun laws by preventing unauthorized access to the firearm during transportation. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they all involve having the firearm loaded or within reach of the driver, which goes against the regulations for transporting firearms without a concealed pistol permit. It is crucial to follow the proper procedures for transporting firearms to prevent any incidents and to abide by the law.
