Rhode Island Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam 2025 - Free Firearms Safety Practice Questions and Study Guide

Question: 1 / 400

Is a background check required for private gun sales in Rhode Island?

Yes, for all firearm sales

Additionally, some states have specific requirements for private gun sales, but Rhode Island does not. It is important to note that federal law still applies and prohibits anyone from selling a firearm to a person they know or have reasonable cause to believe is prohibited from owning one. This includes any felon, a person under indictment, or anyone who has been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor. So even though a background check may not be required by state law, it is important to still perform one to ensure that you are not violating federal law.
