What is the legal definition of a concealed weapon in Rhode Island?

  1. A weapon carried in a vehicle, regardless of visibility

  2. A weapon carried on one's person in a way that is not visible to the ordinary sight of another person

  3. A weapon hidden at home

  4. A weapon carried openly in a holster

The correct answer is: A weapon carried on one's person in a way that is not visible to the ordinary sight of another person

In Rhode Island, the legal definition of a concealed weapon is "A weapon carried on one's person in a way that is not visible to the ordinary sight of another person." This definition highlights the importance of ensuring that weapons are not easily visible or discernible when carried, emphasizing the need for responsible and discreet firearm handling in public settings. Option A is incorrect because simply carrying a weapon in a vehicle, regardless of visibility, does not meet the legal definition of a concealed weapon in Rhode Island. Option C is incorrect because a weapon hidden at home is not the same as a concealed weapon carried in public spaces. Option D is incorrect because carrying a weapon openly in a holster is not considered concealed but rather openly carried, which may have different regulations and requirements.
