Is open carry of a firearm legal in Rhode Island?

Yes, without any permit
Yes, with a permit
No, it is not legal
Only during hunting season

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit

In Rhode Island, the open carry of a firearm is legal but requires a permit. This means that individuals must go through the appropriate application process to obtain a permit before they can carry a firearm openly in public. This permit is designed to ensure that individuals carrying firearms meet certain criteria and undergo background checks, thereby promoting public safety. The other options don't align with current Rhode Island firearms laws. Open carry without a permit would not comply with the legal requirements, nor is open carry restricted solely to hunting season. Thus, having a valid permit is essential for anyone looking to engage in open carry within the state.
