Can firearms be carried openly or concealed in state parks in Rhode Island?

Yes, both openly and concealed
No
Only concealed with a permit
Only openly

The correct answer is: Only concealed with a permit

In Rhode Island, state law generally allows individuals to carry firearms in state parks, but certain restrictions apply. Specifically, individuals are permitted to carry concealed firearms only when they possess a valid concealed carry permit. This requirement is in place to ensure responsible firearm ownership and to maintain safety in public spaces, including state parks. Open carry, while legal in some circumstances in Rhode Island, is not applicable in state parks where concealed carry with a permit is favored to minimize potential risks associated with openly displaying a firearm. Consequently, understanding and adhering to these laws is crucial for gun owners to ensure compliance and safety while enjoying recreational areas in the state.
