South Dakota is, actually #32 for 2017. G & A's 2017 summary for SD is as follows:



So, apparently, there may be some quirks in the "use of deadly force" laws. Is there any "duty to retreat" in SD? Or are there other restrictions to "use of force?"

I don’t know what would make it so high I guess. You enter my home against my wanting you here or break in. I shoot you end of issue. The rest are pretty laid back here really. You go someplaces in sd and they still wear 6 shooters like the cowboy flicks....really it’s bad ass out west in some places.

I don’t know all the laws about guns and such but we pretty much allow anything so it just seems off I guess.
