Can a non-resident carry a concealed firearm in Rhode Island with a permit issued from another state?

Yes
No
Yes, but only from certain states
Yes, but they must notify local law enforcement

The correct answer is: No

In Rhode Island, non-residents are not permitted to carry concealed firearms with permits issued from other states. The state has specific regulations that require a Rhode Island issued permit for concealed carry, regardless of the permit held by a non-resident. This means that even if a non-resident possesses a valid concealed carry permit from a different state, it does not grant them legal authority to carry concealed in Rhode Island. The other choices suggest varying degrees of permissibility, but they do not align with the state's strict requirements. Carrying a concealed firearm legally in Rhode Island necessitates compliance with local laws, which do not recognize concealed carry permits from other jurisdictions for non-residents.
