What must individuals do before legally acquiring a firearm from another state?

Nothing, there are no specific requirements
Notify the Rhode Island Department of Public Safety
Have the firearm shipped to a licensed Rhode Island gun dealer
Obtain a special out-of-state purchase permit

The correct answer is: Have the firearm shipped to a licensed Rhode Island gun dealer

Individuals must have a firearm shipped to a licensed Rhode Island gun dealer before legally acquiring it from another state. Option A is incorrect because there are specific requirements that must be met. Option B is incorrect because notifying the department of public safety is not enough to legally acquire a firearm from another state. Option D is incorrect because a special purchase permit is not required for out-of-state purchases, but the firearm must still be shipped to a licensed dealer in Rhode Island. Only option C aligns with the legal requirements for acquiring a firearm from another state.
