I have a long time friend who has a town issued LTC permit and he wants to buy a pistol off me. I told him we would need to transfer it through an FFL. He said that that is not law in RI and a private sale is okay, with a bill of sale. I have know this person since 1982 and I'd have no problem transfering it to him. I was told different things from different people, and I'm really confused. What is the law in RI??
