Sec.24 and the 2nd Amendment, And proposing New State Legislation to stop Counties, Townships and Municipalities from using loop-holes and passing Mayorial Executive orders forming Rules, Policies, regulations, and Procedures (such as FL. HB-45). I was contacted by SD Rep. Stace Nelson and invited to the SD State Republician Convention in Sioux Falls, SD next weekend to speak with him and others and to gain support for the new proposed legislation that we are going to call " The South Dakota Second Amendment Protection Act" I will post updates on this after I speak with our Reps. at the Convention on the South Dakota Open Carry Facebook Page.

If you already have state preemption and a straightforward constitutional amendment why would you seek another piece of legislation instead of enforcing what you already have? If you need a firearm protection statute when you already have a firearm protection statute (preemption) that local governments are ignoring what good would another law do? Seems to me the local government needs to be sued to have their illegal ordinances removed since you already have the preemption that says they can't regulate the carrying of firearms. I'm not familiar with SD preemption or your constitutional amendment but it would be nice if you posted links to these two documents so everyone could take a look at them.

What Sioux Falls and other Cities are doing with the Mayorial E/o's Is not currently Illegal by state law due to the fact they are forming policies, Rules, ,Ect. and NOT Ordinances. The Executive order is not enforcable on Citizens but they use these E/O basicly as their probable cause to charge Citizens with crimes like disturbing the peace, refusing to vacate. ( The Sioux Falls Chief of Police has stated publicly he will do just this) ( I have tryed to attach these files to this post It keeps telling me their to large please e-mail me and I will send them to you)

We are currently working on getting what we already have enforced. After much Opposition from SDOC and Pro-2A supporters the City Of Sioux Falls Attorneys Office is reviewing E/o 07-29 for repeal or amendment, But we want to ensure we Close this Loop-Hole in the State Preemption Laws and hold local Govenrments Accountable for any Violations. The Proposed legislation would be as close as Poss. to FL. HB-45 and will provide civil penalty for knowing & willful violation of prohibitions; provides that public funds may not be used to defend or reimburse unlawful conduct of person charged with knowing & willful violation of act; provides for termination of employment or contract or removal from office of person acting in official capacity who knowingly & willfully violates any provision of act; provides for declaratory & injunctive relief for specified persons or organizations; provides for specified damages & interest; provides exceptions to prohibitions of section.

Adam,

If possible, South Dakota needs "weapons" preemption language as well. How many cities probably ban different types of knives?

Knife Preemption has been taking off but Wyoming, Montana, and Oregon have weapons preemption which is a step further. South Dakota legalized switchblades a few years back so adding this language should be possible.
