RI - Multi-State Firearms Training

Rhode Island doesn't require firearms training for a carry permit, but you do need to pass a live fire qualification with a certified instructor. This is where they come in.

You'll shoot 30 rounds at an Army-L target from 25 yards. Each shot scores up to 10 points for a 300-point maximum. You need 195 to pass.

• •Important: The caliber you qualify with determines your permit limit. Qualify with 9mm, your permit covers 9mm and smaller. Qualify with .45 ACP, you can carry anything up to that.

• •Qualification examination and live fire
• •Instructor endorsement (if you pass)
• •Rhode Island CCW application
• •Document copying and certification
• •Notarization of application
• •Oath administration

Two forms of ID from: valid driver's license, state ID, birth certificate, or US passport.

You can use your own handgun and ammunition, or they provide a Glock 19 (9mm) or Glock 30 (.45 ACP)—just bring the appropriate ammo.
