What type of storage is required by law in Rhode Island to prevent access to firearms by minors?

Locked cabinet
Gun safes only
Any secure locking device
No storage requirements

The correct answer is: Any secure locking device

The requirement in Rhode Island to prevent access to firearms by minors emphasizes the importance of using any secure locking device to safely store firearms. This means that as long as the firearm is stored in a manner that prevents unauthorized access, such as being locked in a cabinet, safe, or any secure device, it complies with the law. This flexibility allows gun owners to choose from a variety of storage options that best fit their needs while ensuring safety from minors. The notion behind this law is to promote responsible gun ownership and safeguard children from the risks associated with firearms. Thus, the key element is the secure locking capability, rather than specifying a particular type of storage solution, which is why all secure locking devices meet the legal requirements in Rhode Island.
