What is the penalty for carrying a firearm without a permit in Rhode Island?

  1. A fine of up to $1,000

  2. Up to 1 year in prison

  3. Both A and B

  4. No penalty if not previously convicted

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In Rhode Island, carrying a firearm without a permit is considered a misdemeanor and can result in both a fine of up to $1,000 and up to 1 year in prison. Option A and B are incorrect because both only represent one aspect of the penalty. Option D is incorrect because carrying a firearm without a permit is still a punishable offense, regardless of a previous conviction.
