Rhode Island Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

In order to carry a concealed firearm in Rhode Island, one must have a concealed carry permit. A driver's license would not suffice as it is not specific to carrying a firearm. Proof of Rhode Island residency is also not enough, as it does not indicate that the person is legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm. A hunting license is also not enough, as it is specific to hunting and does not necessarily prove that someone is trained and qualified to carry a concealed firearm. A concealed carry permit is the only document that verifies that a person has undergone necessary training and background checks to safely carry a concealed firearm.
