In Rhode Island, who has the authority to issue a concealed carry permit?

The Governor
The local police chief or the Attorney General
The Department of Environmental Management
Any licensed firearms dealer

The correct answer is: The local police chief or the Attorney General

Rhode Island has a "May-Issue" policy for concealed carry permits, meaning the local police chief or Attorney General has the discretion to issue or deny permits. The Governor, Department of Environmental Management, and licensed firearms dealers do not have the authority to issue concealed carry permits in Rhode Island. These options are incorrect because they do not have the necessary authority or power to make decisions about issuing concealed carry permits.
