This is for the safety of both the individual carrying the firearm and those around them. Option A is incorrect because open carry without a permit is not allowed. Option B is incorrect because the legality of open carry is not dependent on location. Option C is incorrect because, as mentioned before, a permit is required for open carry in Rhode Island.
