Is an open carry of firearms permitted in Rhode Island?

  1. Yes, without a permit

  2. Yes, with a permit

  3. Only for law enforcement

  4. No

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit

In Rhode Island, open carry of firearms is permitted with a permit. Individuals who wish to openly carry a firearm must obtain a concealed carry permit from the attorney general's office. Without this permit, open carry of firearms is not allowed in the state. Law enforcement officers may also openly carry firearms as part of their official duties, but this option is not limited to law enforcement personnel only.
