Jamie R. Smith on Gun Control

 

 


We should have a concealed carry permit in the state

We asked Gubernatorial candidate Jamie Smith about gun violence. "I believe that we should have a concealed carry permit in the state. I believe it. Over 80% of South Dakotans believe that too. And we got rid of that. And I also voted against carrying in the Capitol, and the legislature again, in their extreme wisdom, decided no, we should do that even though the people that protect us, the Highway Patrol, thought that maybe that wasn't the best," said Smith.

Don't allow concealed carry of guns at state capitol

Legislative Summary:˙House Bill 1156: To allow a concealed pistol in the Capitol with an enhanced concealed pistol permit.

Analysis by Sioux City Argus-Leader: The state Supreme Court chambers would be excluded and anyone who wanted to carry would need to register with Capitol security 24 hours beforehand. The bill's sponsor said the bill is aimed at ensuring security in the Statehouse by allowing those who've taken a handgun training and self-defense course & undergone an FBI background check to carry.

Veto Message:˙The law enforcement officers who protect our Capitol building have specialized training which is repeated on a regular basis. In contrast, South Dakotans who hold an enhanced concealed pistol permit were required to undertake approximately 8 hours of instruction, just once.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 19-15-1 on 3/6/17;State Rep. Jamie Smith voted NO; Vetoed on 3/27/17; House Veto Sustained 42-27 on 3/27/17.
