South Dakota Lawmakers Push To Protect Gun Owners\u2019 Rights.<\/a><\/p>\n

While gun\u00a0owners in many states face a legislature hostile to their rights, pro-freedom lawmakers in South Dakota are pushing to protect gun\u00a0owners\u2019 rights in the Mount Rushmore State.<\/p>\n

In the past week, lawmakers have passed two pro-gun\u00a0bills\u2014House Bill 1035 and Senate Bill 39\u2014and the measures now go to Republican Gov. Kristi Noem for her consideration.<\/p>\n

House Bill 1035<\/a>, introduced by Rep. Kevin Jensen, extends the renewal period for those holding enhanced carry permits. The enhanced permit is an optional permit that allows approved permit holders the ability to present the permit to a retailer when purchasing a firearm, in lieu of undergoing a background check through NICS.<\/p>\n

According to the bill\u2019s language: \u201cA person who holds an enhanced permit to carry a concealed pistol may renew the permit through the sheriff of the county in which the person resides. The period for renewal begins 12 months before the permit expires and ends 30 days after the permit expires.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previously, enhanced carry permit holders couldn\u2019t begin the renewal process until 180 days before the permit\u2019s expiration date.<\/p>\n

Senate Bill 39<\/a>, introduced by state Sen. Michael Rohl, would, if signed by the governor, place restrictions on homeowners\u2019 associations (HOAs) regarding their regulation of firearms.<\/p>\n

According to the measure\u2019s language:\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>A homeowner\u2019s association may not include or enforce a provision in a governing document that prohibits, restricts or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting the lawful possession, transportation or storing a firearm, any part of a firearm, or firearm ammunition, or discharge of a firearm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sen. Rohl says the bill would help residents who live under homeowner associations better protect themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cA sign doesn\u2019t keep out bad guys with guns,\u201d\u00a0 Sen. Rohl said. \u201cWe want good guys with guns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both measures are likely to be signed by Gov. Noem, who is a strong Second Amendment supporter. In fact, at last year\u2019s NRA Annual Meetings, Noem, who spoke at the convention, signed an executive order on stage blocking state agencies from contracting with large banks that discriminate against firearm-related industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just the media and big government that are attacking our rights,\u201d Noem said at the time. \u201cNow we\u2019ve seen banking institutions go after industries that they disagree with. None have been more impacted than those who support the Second Amendment. Well, not on my watch: I won\u2019t stand for it\u2014not in South Dakota.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
