What is the mandatory waiting period for purchasing a firearm in Rhode Island?

7 days
10 days
There is no waiting period
5 days

The correct answer is: 7 days

In Rhode Island, there is a mandatory waiting period of 7 days for purchasing a firearm. This means that after a background check and other required paperwork is completed, the buyer must wait 7 days before they can receive their purchased firearm. Option B, 10 days, is incorrect because the waiting period is only 7 days, not 10. Option C, there is no waiting period, is also incorrect as there is indeed a waiting period in Rhode Island. Option D, 5 days, is incorrect because the waiting period is 7 days, not 5.
