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

Question: 1 / 400

Do Rhode Island gun laws preempt local gun laws?

Yes, completely

Rhode Island, like many other states, follows the "Dillon Rule" which grants state law supremacy over local laws. This means that state laws, particularly regarding gun control, take precedence over any local laws or regulations. Therefore, Rhode Island gun laws preempt any local gun laws, making option A the correct answer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not fully state the extent of the state's supremacy over local laws. Option B is too broad, option C only mentions certain regulations, and option D mentions counties, which are a lower level of government than cities.
