What does a 'Red Flag Law' in Rhode Island allow?

Carrying a firearm in public without a permit
The temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others
Unlimited purchase of firearms during emergencies
Concealed carry on college campuses

The correct answer is: The temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others

A 'Red Flag Law' in Rhode Island allows for the temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others. This is often referred to as an extreme-risk protection order, and it is intended to reduce gun violence and suicides by reducing access to firearms for individuals who may pose a threat to themselves or others. Option A is incorrect because carrying a firearm in public without a permit is illegal in Rhode Island and not allowed under the 'Red Flag Law'. Option C is also incorrect as there are limits on purchasing firearms during emergencies in Rhode Island. Option D is incorrect because conceal carry on college campuses is prohibited in Rhode Island.
