Can an individual be charged with a felony for possessing a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance in Rhode Island?

Yes
No
Yes, but only for certain substances
Yes, but only if the firearm is unregistered

The correct answer is: Yes

In Rhode Island, it is a felony offense to possess both a firearm and a controlled substance at the same time. This means that an individual can be charged with a felony for possessing a firearm while in possession of a controlled substance, regardless of the specific substance or registration status of the firearm. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect, as they all suggest that there are certain exceptions to this law. However, it is important to note that the specific consequences and penalties for this offense may vary depending on the circumstances of the case.
