Question: 1 / 400

Is a background check required for a private party gun sale in Rhode Island?

Yes, always

A background check is required for a private party gun sale in Rhode Island because state law requires all gun transfers, including private sales, to go through a licensed firearms dealer. This means that even private sales between individuals must include a background check. Option B is incorrect because it is never legal to conduct a private party gun sale without a background check in Rhode Island. Option C is incorrect because the background check requirement applies to all types of firearms, not just handguns. Option D is incorrect because while there are exceptions for family transfers, this does not apply to private party gun sales and a background check is still required.
