Which of the following locations is it illegal to carry a firearm in Rhode Island, even with a permit?

State parks
School grounds
Places of worship
Private vehicles

The correct answer is: School grounds

Carrying a firearm on school grounds in Rhode Island is prohibited by law, regardless of whether an individual possesses a permit. This regulation is in place to enhance safety within educational environments, reflecting the state's commitment to protecting students and staff. Gun-free school zones serve to limit access to firearms in areas where their presence could pose a significant risk to public safety. While there may be specific regulations concerning carrying firearms in state parks, places of worship, and private vehicles, these locations have provisions that may allow for carrying under certain conditions or contexts. Therefore, school grounds remain a unique instance where the prohibition is absolute, making it crucial for gun owners to be aware of these regulations to avoid legal repercussions.
