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

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but must also have a Rhode Island permit
No, non-residents cannot carry a concealed firearm
It depends on the reciprocity agreements with other states

The correct answer is: Yes, but must also have a Rhode Island permit

Non-residents of Rhode Island are not allowed to carry a concealed firearm with a permit issued from another state without also having a Rhode Island permit. This is because Rhode Island does not have reciprocity agreements with other states, and thus does not recognize out-of-state permits. Option A is incorrect because Rhode Island has restrictions on non-residents carrying concealed firearms, even with a permit. Option C is incorrect because non-residents with a Rhode Island permit are allowed to carry a concealed firearm. Option D is partially correct, as reciprocity agreements do play a role, but the requirement of also having a Rhode Island permit is important to note.
