Im looking into getting my Non-Resident RI license to carry. I read a little bit about it so far but theres alot of reading to go through. Can anyone sum it up for me a let me know how to go about aquiring a license. Application, fees, interviews, letters of recomendation, or qualifications i may need. I want to get my license because I travel to Rhode Island alot for work on weekends, plus my girlfriend lives in Swansea, just a few minutes into Mass. Alot of her family is in RI so its a place I frequently travel to and about.

Thanks

so, no, you cant have one





no, seriously, you cant.  you can try, but then if you are filling out any other CCW paperwork and it asks if you have ever been denied a CCW permit, you have to say yes, so just dont try for the RI one

Yup, pretty much sums it up..  The issuing authority is the local chief of police or the state attorney general.

Requirements:
1. Twenty-one (21) years of age or over

2. A proper showing of need. This statute requires the Attorney General to deny a pistol permit to all persons who do not demonstrate a proper showing of need to carry a pistol or revolver on their person. If an individual is able to demonstrate a proper showing of need, the Attorney General then has discretion to issue or deny a pistol permit.

3. Training Requirements – No person shall be issued a license or permit to carry a pistol or revolver concealed upon his or her person until he or she has presented certification as prescribed in § 11-47-16 that he or she has qualified with a pistol or revolver of a caliber equal to or larger than the one he or she intends to carry, that qualification to consist of firing a score of 195 or better out of a possible score of 300 with thirty (30) consecutive rounds at a distance of twenty-five (25) yards on the army “L” target, firing “slow” fire. The “slow” fire course shall allow ten (10) minutes for the firing of each of three (3) ten (10) shot strings.

4. The application must be NOTARIZED and MUST BE SIGNED OR STAMPED by the local Police Chief or a city hall official in the city or town of the applicant’s residence.

5. Submit everything to the Attorney General at 150 South Main Street, Providence, Rhode Island

6. All NON-RESIDENT APPLICANTS must include a copy of the their home state permit.
7. If the permit is to be used for employment, a TYPED letter of explanation must be submitted on your employer’s letterhead and included with the application. If the permit is not for employment, a typed letter must be submitted by the applicant stating the reasons why a permit is needed on a full time basis. All letters must be dated. We will not accept a photocopy of any signature. Retired Police Officers applying under 11-47-18 must submit a letter of verification from the Chief of Police of the department which they retired from stating that they have completed 20 years of GOOD service.

The Attorney General Permit is may-issue as it was upheld by the state supreme court since a permit issued by a police chief is shall-issue If you get denied (you may have to sue, but you could collect 42 USC 1983).

§ 1983. Civil action for deprivation of rights
Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer’s judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia.
