What are the requirements for storing firearms in residences where children are present in Rhode Island?

  1. Firearms must be stored unloaded and locked

  2. No specific requirements

  3. Firearms must be stored unloaded

  4. Firearms can be stored any way, as long as they are not loaded

The correct answer is: Firearms must be stored unloaded and locked

In Rhode Island, it is required by law for firearms to be stored unloaded and locked in residences where children are present. This is to ensure the safety of children and prevent them from accessing the firearms. Option B is incorrect because there are specific requirements for storing firearms in these circumstances. Option C is incorrect because locking the firearms is also necessary in addition to storing them unloaded. Option D is incorrect because there are specific requirements and simply not having the firearm loaded is not enough to meet these requirements.
