How are firearm transfers between private parties regulated in Rhode Island?

  1. No regulation or background check required

  2. Background checks required only for handguns

  3. Background check and permit required for all firearms

  4. Background checks are required for all firearms transfers

The correct answer is: Background checks are required for all firearms transfers

In Rhode Island, firearm transfers between private parties are regulated by requiring background checks for all firearms transfers. This regulation helps ensure that individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms, such as convicted felons or individuals with a history of domestic violence, are not able to acquire firearms through private transactions. Conducting background checks for all firearms transfers is an important measure to promote public safety and responsible gun ownership.
