Are magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds allowed in Rhode Island?

Yes, without restrictions
No
Yes, but only for law enforcement
Yes, with a special permit

The correct answer is: No

In Rhode Island, magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are prohibited under state law. This regulation reflects an effort to address public safety concerns by limiting the capacity of firearms magazines. The law essentially aims to reduce the potential for mass casualties in the event of a shooting incident by restricting access to high-capacity magazines. While some states have different regulations regarding magazine capacity, Rhode Island has set a specific limit to promote responsible gun ownership. This means that options suggesting unrestricted use, permissions for law enforcement, or requirements of special permits do not align with the statutory framework in place for civilian gun ownership in Rhode Island. For civilians, adherence to the 10-round limit is mandatory.
