Do private sellers need to conduct a background check before selling a firearm in Rhode Island?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for handguns

  4. Only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes

Private sellers in Rhode Island are required to conduct a background check before selling a firearm, regardless of the type of firearm being sold. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they all suggest some form of exemption from conducting a background check for private sellers. It is important for private sellers to follow this regulation in order to ensure the safety and legality of the firearm transaction.
