Is it legal to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Rhode Island?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in your own home

  4. Only if not carrying publicly

The correct answer is: No

In Rhode Island, it is illegal to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs anywhere, not just in public. This includes both carrying a firearm in public while under the influence, as well as possessing a firearm in your own home while under the influence. While it is legal to own a firearm in Rhode Island, it is important to remember that it is a serious criminal offense to handle or possess a firearm while under the influence. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect. Safety and responsibility should always be a top priority when it comes to owning and handling firearms.
