Does Rhode Island have a red flag law?

  1. No, it does not have a red flag law

  2. Yes, but it is limited to law enforcement requests

  3. Yes, applicable to immediate family members only

  4. Yes, allowing certain individuals to petition for a protective order

The correct answer is: Yes, allowing certain individuals to petition for a protective order

A red flag law allows individuals to petition the court for an Extreme Risk Protection Order, temporarily preventing someone from possessing firearms if they are deemed a danger to themselves or others. While it is true that Rhode Island does not have a red flag law limited to law enforcement requests (option B), nor one applicable to immediate family members only (option C), the correct answer is that it does allow certain individuals to petition for a protective order (option D). Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect. See https://webserver.rilin.state.ri.us/Lawrevision/laws/26-60-9.htm
