Is it legal to possess a firearm in a school zone in Rhode Island?

  1. Yes, with a permit

  2. No

  3. Yes, for educational purposes with authorization

  4. Yes, if unloaded and locked in a vehicle

The correct answer is: No

In Rhode Island, it is illegal to possess a firearm in a school zone, even if you have a permit or if the gun is unloaded and locked in a vehicle. The only exception is for law enforcement officers on duty. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest that it is legal to possess a firearm in a school zone under certain circumstances. However, Rhode Island state law prohibits any possession of a firearm in a school zone, regardless of a permit or purpose.
