What type of background check is required for a firearm purchase in Rhode Island?

State only
Federal only
Both state and federal
No background check required

The correct answer is: Both state and federal

In Rhode Island, both state and federal background checks are required for a firearm purchase. This ensures that the purchaser is eligible to possess a firearm under both state and federal laws, enhancing safety measures and regulations. Options A and B alone are not sufficient to cover all necessary requirements, and option D is incorrect as background checks are mandatory to prevent ineligible individuals from acquiring firearms.
