Shouldn't we be more concerned about this? Given who the 75 delegates are likely to be, and the make-up of the urban areas that control this state, isn't it far more likely leftist amendments would prevail? The only reason democrats oppose it is abortions, but the last convention was held in 1986 and that was killed by a whopping 66% of voters when freaking Reagan was president. We're outnumbered. The most likely thing to come out of a convention is infringement on our 2A rights in my opinion. Am I wrong?

Am i allowed to purchase a rifle at 19 in rhode island or is it 21 across the board?

Back in April 23, 2010 in TN - I was viciously attacked and it screwed me up mentally (understandably) and I attempted suicide not once, but twice.

Since then, I’ve had therapy, medication management and have evolved into a person with an amazing job, a clean record (never arrested) and am working on the person I want to be.

I took 3 Security classes, obtained my blue card and finally went to purchase my handgun.

The gun shop just called and said there was a “problem” with my background check.

In all honesty - When I was presented with the question about mental health, I didn’t hesitate to check no. I’m doing just fine (not to mention, this was a long time ago) - I wasn’t being malicious whatsoever. I went through the healing process and somehow came out in a better place albeit, still have to take medication but I’m ok with that.

I just now got off the phone with the Captain and she clearly said it’s because of my 2 attempts. I kind of laughed and said I went through a hard time (without saying what) and she said “we’ve all been there”.

Are there not HIPAA regulations? At least to an extent?

I still talk to my therapist for medication management and she knows my love of guns- Target shooting is something I LOVE to do (safely) and I respect all laws. I’m no longer suicidal. yet, who knows what life will bring. It’s such a debatable topic. For me anyway, I’m safer with a gun than 10 bottles of Visene that can be purchased at any store.

I’m leaning towards the process of requesting documentation from my therapist stating I’m of sound mind to obtain one but I’m sorry, this is bullshit - Life happens and we (at least try) to learn from it.

I'm pretty confident my therapist will be happy to write a reference/return to normal life letter but this has just really rubbed me the wrong way - Did I not do the right thing by reaching out for help? Am I going to forever have this fucking tragedy ruin parts of my life? It’s better than losing myself in drugs and alcohol like so many do….unfortunately.

Or, should I simply reach out to some of my nephews hooligans and get one illegally - I mean WTF?

Sorry for the whining………..

Appreciate everyone’s help in advance…….

Cheers

Cindy

Does anyone know if it would be acceptable for my wife to be one of my three required letters of reference? It’s already going to be hard enough to get the other two since I don’t really have any close friends I would be comfortable asking who live close enough to pester for a trip to a notary public. The only people I could possibly ask are some of the guys at work. I would not carry at work since I work at a Naval base. I don’t want to have the reputation as “the ccw gun guy” at work. It’s a private thing I would only do on my own personal time away from work.

Thinking about getting into single actions revolvers. I’m going to assume they’re not going to be too common up here. Does anyone know if there are any shops that have a decent selections of single actions, or and i going to have to hunt for one.

im 18, turn 19 in April and was wondering how much trouble if any would i get into in Texas if my Mom bought me a handgun as a gift for christmas. Should i keep in strictly for home defense until im 21?? HELP!!

Non-resident 527 days. Man, several times I almost pulled my application and sent elsewhere, but since I don’t often go to RI, I waited so I didn’t have to redo the application.

Couple things they said to me. first, they are very chewy, friendly, which showed with my interaction with them. Second, the sergeant who did all of the processing said he is the only one that is able to do this and he has a full-time job doing other police work and only does this when time permits. He said they had over 400 applications in 2023 and another 400 already in 2024. My application was from May 2023. So if you applied in 2024 as a non-resident, you will very likely not see your permit.

The last thing to note is that he did say that get a priority, but so do renewals. He said a renewal shouldn't take more than a few months.

Anyone know anything about a new request for medical records from care New England, charter etc when going to renew? This is new on the app

Hey guys, I just poked around the CCW licensing thread and I’m still thoroughly confused on how it works in RI.

I am about to move to Scituate RI from MA and I’ve had my MA LTC and FL CCW since 2011, I am full time active military in MA and would like to maintain both RI and MA LTC / CCW.

Can someone explain the RI CCW process to me BaRnEy sTyLe? lol

Crayons, shapes and colors are helpful lol

Hi, has anyone had luck applying to North Smithfield as a non resident? Have a NH CCW and my towns application process is both expensive and invasive. Heard foster and PVD are both backed up.

I will be moving back to ri from Va after college and have some 17 round mags. Do I need to permanently modify them or can I put I stopper in? Or should I just buy 10 round magazines

Not that you hooligans need too much oversight, but having extra hands going into an election year and another volatile legislative session is always a good thing.

I suppose it is cordial to make an announcement post about this, so here it is.

Please join me in welcoming NET42 & glennjersey to the team. You've probably seen them around in the comments sections and what not. :)

Hi I just received approval for a CCW from foster. Is there any advice particular to concealing ? Thanks

Saw a couple posts awhile back saying providence had non res applications on hold, then heard one person say recently they’re issuing again, anyone have up to date info?

Hey everyone. I haven't shot in a while - I've been out of the game for 6 or 7 years or so. Just getting back into it now. I know some stuff has changed, such as the 10rd magazine limit, and having to present your blue card to buy ammo. What else has changed in that time?

Can I still buy a firearm online and have it shipped to an FFL? What do we do about guns that don't have 10rd magazine options available? What's the deal with barrel length? SBRs are still off-limits, right? What about AR pistols? Are braces now illegal? Anything else I should be aware of?

I guess I'm just not sure what is allowed nowadays, and I don't want to get myself into any trouble or accidentally purchase something that I shouldn't. I'd like to maybe buy/build another AR to add to my collection.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, looking for gun clubs that have rifle ranges that reach out to at least 400 yards. Anyone got a spot they know about? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I moved to Rhode Island fairly recently and have been looking to get into 3 gun type competitive shooting. Which gun clubs would you all recommend for that type of stuff?

Also, I saw the other post where Bradford was recommended. I live in Riverside and was hoping to find something a little bit closer to home.

Another also, I have called the Massasoit Gun club a couple times and nobody ever answers the phone so I moved on and am continuing my search. I haven’t completely written them off though so if someone here knows who I can contact from that club please let me know.

Yet another also, I’ve heard good things about Newport rifle club but their POC is also not the easiest to get on the phone. The one time I got the guy on the phone he said he’d email me the application form but I never got it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Im trying to get some clarity if i can transport a ar15 into mass from rhode island to a private range. Same goes for traveling to a indoor range (Attleboro) with a ar15. I cant seem to find a clear yes/no. Does anyone know the rules/laws on this?

Hey everyone. This is my first post in this sub. I wish I knew it existed a long time ago.

Anyways, I have kind of an odd question - will having a valid FL CCW permit (yeah, I know RI doesn’t recognize FL) make the process of getting one in RI any easier/more likely to be approved?

I’ve only been back to RI (which is my home state) for about a month and haven’t gotten a RI DL yet as my FL DL doesn’t expire until 2028. I’m not very hopeful that my FL CCW will help me in any way but figured I’d ask because I couldn’t find a direct answer anywhere.

Any input or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

That’s it, would it get sieved in route? It’s a pistol upper that I wanna get pinned and welded, would anything stop me from ordering it to my house?

If you can come down to Warwick this Saturday - great. Hopefully we can preserve and flip some seats to help nip any bad legislation (such as the AWB in the budget) in the bud.

I've done a fair amount of research on the subject, but I'm still having trouble understanding this nonsense. How exactly does it differ from the background checks we already have to submit to when we buy guns?

I've also read that it will inevitably lead to a gun registry, but how? Can't the Feds already look up who bought what by pulling the paperwork that gets submitted by the FFL?

Forgive me; I'm not new to guns, but I am a new gun owner.

Is there any range in RI where one can practice drawing from holster, shoot and move, etc. Things which are needed for USPSA matches.

I hope Y'all have gone out and voted today. It's very important for our second amendment rights.

Anybody know any ranges that are letting people shoot with braced pistols right now? I usually go to mid state but when I asked they said I can only shoot with a bare buffer/no brace until all the court cases are closed.

Hi there, I submitted my application to Cranston back in Late April/early May of this year and have yet to hear anything back.

Has anyone recently got anything from Cranston? Thanks
