What is required to purchase a handgun in Rhode Island?

  1. A hunting license

  2. A Rhode Island ID card

  3. A safety training certificate

  4. Proof of U.S. citizenship

The correct answer is: A safety training certificate

In order to purchase a handgun in Rhode Island, one must have a safety training certificate. This ensures that the purchaser is knowledgeable about safe handling and use of the handgun. Option A, a hunting license, is not required for purchasing a handgun as it is for the purchase of a hunting rifle. Option B, a Rhode Island ID card, is a common form of identification but it is not a requirement for buying a handgun. And option D, proof of U.S citizenship, is not a requirement for purchasing a handgun in Rhode Island.
