Is open carry of a firearm allowed in Rhode Island without a permit?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. Yes, but only in rural areas

  3. No, a permit is required for open carry

  4. No, open carry is not allowed under any circumstances

The correct answer is: No, a permit is required for open carry

In Rhode Island, open carry of a firearm is not allowed without a permit. While you can legally carry a concealed firearm without a permit, open carry requires applicants to obtain a license to carry a concealed weapon. So options A and B are incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as there are certain restrictions and exceptions for law enforcement officers and military personnel.
