In Rhode Island, what is the penalty for carrying a stolen firearm?

  1. Fine only

  2. Imprisonment only

  3. Fine and imprisonment

  4. Community service

The correct answer is: Fine and imprisonment

In Rhode Island, carrying a stolen firearm carries both a fine and imprisonment penalty. This is likely due to the seriousness of the crime, as using or possessing a stolen firearm can pose a danger to the community. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not take into account the severity or criminality of carrying a stolen firearm. While fines or community service may be a possible consequence, imprisonment is a more likely and appropriate consequence for this type of offense.
