What is required to transfer a firearm in Rhode Island?

Nothing is required
A bill of sale
A background check and a bill of sale
State-issued identification

The correct answer is: A background check and a bill of sale

In Rhode Island, to transfer a firearm, a background check and a bill of sale are required. This helps ensure that the recipient of the firearm is eligible to possess a firearm under state and federal law. Conducting a background check helps verify that the individual does not have a disqualifying criminal history or other factors that would prohibit them from owning a firearm. Additionally, having a bill of sale documents the transfer of ownership, providing a record of the transaction for both the buyer and the seller. This process helps promote responsible ownership and accountability when transferring firearms.
