Rhode Island Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What constitutes a 'proper showing of need' for a concealed carry permit in Rhode Island?

1. Employment in security

2. Proof of threats to personal safety

3. Regular transport of large sums of money

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

One must provide a justification or reason to be granted a concealed carry permit in Rhode Island based on a proper showing of need. Options A to C each individually demonstrate a valid reason, but each in a different context. Option A serves as a reason for a permit if someone's employment and duties require the use of a weapon for security purposes. Option B provides a reason if someone has received specific or credible threats to their personal safety. And option C is a reason if an individual regularly carries large amounts of money that require protection. Since all of the above reasons demonstrate a valid showing of need, the correct answer is D.
