What is the legal definition of a 'loaded' firearm in Rhode Island?

  1. Ammunition in the chamber

  2. Ammunition in magazine or chamber

  3. Firearm capable of discharge

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

A loaded firearm is defined as a firearm that has both ammunition in the chamber and in the magazine. Option A and B are incorrect because they only refer to ammunition in one specific location, but a firearm is considered loaded when there is ammunition in both locations. Option C is incorrect because it does not specify the location of the ammunition and could refer to any ammunition being present in the firearm, rather than specifically in the chamber and magazine. The correct answer is D, as it accurately describes a firearm that is considered loaded under Rhode Island law.
