What is the standard waiting period for purchasing a firearm in Rhode Island after passing a background check?

  1. There is no waiting period

  2. 48 hours

  3. 7 days

  4. 14 days

The correct answer is: 7 days

The standard waiting period for purchasing a firearm in Rhode Island after passing a background check is 7 days. This allows for a thorough background check to be completed and for a cooling off period to occur before the individual obtains the firearm. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they either do not have a waiting period or have shorter waiting periods. It is important for states to have waiting periods to prevent impulsive actions with firearms and promote responsible gun ownership.
