What is required to purchase a handgun in Rhode Island?

The correct answer is: All of the above

In Rhode Island, in order to purchase a handgun, all of the options stated are required. A state-issued ID is needed to establish the buyer's identity and residency. Completion of a safety course ensures that the individual has the necessary knowledge and skills to handle firearms safely. Lastly, a background check is conducted to review the buyer's criminal history and ensure they are legally allowed to own a firearm. Therefore, all the options (state-issued ID, completion of a safety course, and a background check) are necessary when purchasing a handgun in Rhode Island.
