Per the Associated Press, South Dakota just took a step toward abolishing its pistol permitting system:

PIERRE – A legislative panel has approved a proposal that would allow people in South Dakota to carry a concealed pistol without a permit.
The House State Affairs Committee on Monday narrowly voted to pass the measure, which removes the requirement for a concealed pistol permit from state law.
Openly carrying a firearm in South Dakota is legal. Republican Rep. Jim Stalzer of Sioux Falls told the committee that he has a concealed pistol permit and has been in situations where he’s been glad to have it.

If the measure becomes law, South Dakota would join Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, and Wyoming as a constitutional carry state. Similar measures are being considered — or have been considered — in 21 states. Four states have abolished carry permits in some circumstances.
