HB1218 prohibits counties, townships, and municipalities from banning employees, officers, or volunteers from lawfully carrying concealed firearms and ammunition in government-owned or leased buildings, vehicles, or property.
The South Dakota State House of Representatives passed HB1218 on March 12, 2025 by a vote of 56 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because state preemption laws such as HB1218 uphold our God-given, Second Amendment-protected right to keep and bear arms—a right that shall not be infringed.
