Had not seen this here before... Some good news from South Dakota.

PIERRE — State senators gave final legislative approval today to a major change in South Dakota’s concealed weapon laws: Adults wouldn’t need to apply for a permit anymore.
The measure instead would require only that a person be at least age 18, have a South Dakota driver license and otherwise be eligible under existing state law.
The Senate voted 22-11 to send the legislation to Gov. Dennis Daugaard for his decision whether to sign it into law.

Fantastic! So the constitutional states are now:
AK, AZ, WY, VT, and SD
Wonder who's next?

I wouldn't quite call it constitutional, They still require a license. Wonder why they need a drivers license. Seems as though driving a car and shooting a gun are 2 different set of skills.

If you give LEO probable cause, they need to know who you so they can see if you're prohibited from carrying (felon, etc).

The DL is for ID not to demonstrate skills.
