South Dakota announces enhanced permit reciprocity with New Mexico
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) – Traveling to New Mexico from South Dakota and worried about applying for a concealed carry permit? You may be in luck since South Dakota Secretary of State Monae Johnson announced an enhanced pistol permit reciprocity with New Mexico on May 20.
Johnson says this allows people who have the enhanced permit moving or traveling from South Dakota to New Mexico to legally conceal carry and don’t have to reapply for a permit.
Since 2018, the state has been attempting to have New Mexico recognize them for reciprocity. New Mexico finally recognized South Dakota after a review of their enhanced pistol permit program.
New Mexico found the state’s enhanced permit to be either as strict or stricter concerning regulations and laws regarding concealed carry.
“New Mexico was waiting for our enhanced permit to be able to recognize that. So, it just gives South Dakotans, you know, another state that they can carry legally into,” Johnson said.
