What is the penalty for carrying a firearm without a license in Rhode Island?

Fine up to $1,000
Up to 1 year in prison
Up to 10 years in prison
Both B and C

The correct answer is: Both B and C

There are multiple factors that can impact the penalty for carrying a firearm without a license in Rhode Island. This includes the type of firearm, previous criminal history, and specific circumstances of the offense. Choosing options A or B are incorrect because they only address one of the potential penalties and do not account for multiple factors that can impact the sentence. Option C is incorrect because it is too severe of a penalty for a first offense without any aggravating factors. Option D is correct because it covers a range of potential penalties depending on the specific circumstances.
