Which of the following best describes Rhode Island’s stance on open carry?

Prohibited
Allowed without a permit
Allowed with a permit
Varies by municipality

The correct answer is: Allowed with a permit

Rhode Island allows open carry with a permit, which means that individuals are legally allowed to openly carry a firearm as long as they have obtained a permit from the state. This is different from option B, which suggests that no permit is required. Rhode Island does not completely prohibit open carry, as stated in option A. Option D is also not an accurate description because it implies that the rules vary depending on the city or town within Rhode Island, but the state laws and regulations apply throughout.
