Which agency in Rhode Island can issue a Permit to Carry Concealed Weapons (CCW)?

  1. Rhode Island Attorney General's Office

  2. Local police department

  3. Rhode Island Department of Public Safety

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Both the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office and the local police department have the authority to issue a Permit to Carry Concealed Weapons (CCW). The Rhode Island Department of Public Safety does not have the power to issue this type of permit. It is important to note that despite both options being correct, it is always recommended to first check with the local police department for a CCW permit as they may have specific requirements or processes in place. The Attorney General's Office should be considered as a secondary option if the local police department is unable to issue a permit for any reason.
