Is open carry of a handgun permitted in Rhode Island without a permit?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. Yes, but only with a special permit

  3. No

  4. Only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: No

The correct answer is that open carry of a handgun is not permitted in Rhode Island without a permit. Rhode Island law requires individuals to have a permit to openly carry a handgun in public. This regulation is in place to ensure that those who carry firearms have undergone the necessary background checks and training to handle firearms responsibly, contributing to public safety. Regarding the other scenarios, it is important to note that while rifles and shotguns may have different regulations, the specific question pertains to handguns, which are subject to the requirement of a permit for open carry. Thus, without a permit, individuals cannot legally carry a handgun openly in Rhode Island.
