Can individuals convicted of a violent crime own a firearm in Rhode Island?

Yes, after a certain period
Yes, if the conviction is expunged
No, they are prohibited from owning firearms
No, unless the firearm is an antique

The correct answer is: No, they are prohibited from owning firearms

Individuals convicted of a violent crime are prohibited from owning firearms in Rhode Island. Option A is incorrect because a certain period of time does not change the fact that they are prohibited from owning firearms. Option B is also incorrect because even if the conviction is expunged, the individual is still considered to have a criminal record and is therefore prohibited from owning firearms. Option D is incorrect because the type of firearm does not change the fact that individuals convicted of a violent crime are prohibited from owning firearms in Rhode Island.
