Which of the following firearms is illegal to possess without a specific license in Rhode Island?

Semi-automatic pistols
Sawed-off shotguns
Bolt-action rifles
Lever-action rifles

The correct answer is: Sawed-off shotguns

Sawed-off shotguns are illegal in Rhode Island without a specific license because they have been modified to have a shorter barrel length and are considered more concealed weapons, making them more dangerous and easier to misuse. Semi-automatic pistols, bolt-action rifles, and lever-action rifles are not illegal to possess without a specific license in Rhode Island as long as they comply with state and federal laws.
