How long is the waiting period to buy a handgun after the initial purchase application in Rhode Island?

  1. There is no waiting period

  2. 7 days

  3. 14 days

  4. 30 days

The correct answer is: 7 days

In Rhode Island, there is a mandatory 7-day waiting period after the initial purchase application before an individual can complete the purchase of a handgun. This waiting period allows for thorough background checks to be conducted. Option A is incorrect because there is a waiting period in Rhode Island. Options C and D are incorrect because they exceed the mandated waiting period of 7 days. It is important to note that in some circumstances, such as a valid concealed carry permit, the waiting period may be waived.
