What is required to legally transport a firearm through Rhode Island from another state?

The firearm must be unloaded and locked in a trunk
You must notify the Rhode Island Attorney General
A special transportation permit
Registration with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management

The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and locked in a trunk

To legally transport a firearm through Rhode Island from another state, you are required to have the firearm unloaded and locked in the trunk of your vehicle. This is in accordance with Rhode Island state gun laws which prohibit carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle without a concealed carry permit. Option B is incorrect because there is no requirement to notify the Rhode Island Attorney General for transporting a firearm through the state. Option C is also incorrect because a special transportation permit is not necessary. Option D is incorrect because registration with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management is only required for certain types of firearms, such as assault weapons. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
