RI nonresident license to carry application

Miscellaneous
1

  • I am in the process of apply for a non resident license to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Rhode Island. You have the option of trying to obtain this license through the RI Attorney General office or through any specific town that is processing the LTC applications. My understanding is that if you go through the attorney general office it is a “may issue” situation and through RI towns a “shall issue” situation. So I decided to apply through the town in which my son and his family live in . However the town is requiring a letter from me detailing the reasons why the town should issued the LTC and explain how carrying a concealed pistol or revolver on my person will mitigate any threats to my person or property. This sounds like a “may issue” request of information. I thought under the Bruen decision showing a special need for self-defense to obtain a license to carry a handgun in public was struck down.

  • Anyway I was wondering if other members that were successful in obtaining a non resident RI LTC would be willing to share what information they provided authorities as reasonable reason for their liking.

Don’t be guilty of TMI

Too much information
