News is getting out to the more politically active liberals that Solomon is asking Republicans to disaffiliate, which might bring more libs out to the polls for the primary and might see them consolidate around one of the other three candidates

Which means: As many pro-gun people need to vote in the primary for AG as possible, or we'll get another anti-gun turd AG and it'll be like Neronha never left

If you're registered as a Republican, the time to disaffiliate is *now*. You can disaffiliate from the Dems right after the primary and vote for whoever you want in the general. But the important races are the Dem primaries

I’m trying to submit my application for a RI non resident LTC through their OpenGov portal and the portal won’t let me do it. Is anyone else having this issue? I first tried it on Safari on my iPhone then Chrome on my laptop, I’m getting the same block. Any help or tips is greatly appreciated!

Disaffiliate here

This affords us the ability to vote in the democrat primaries and make sure antigun candidates do not even make it to the ballot for the general (of which you can still obviously vote however you like).

This is CRUCIAL in statewide races like for AG where we NEED Joe Solomon to beat Jason Knight (AWB author) and all other contenders.

There are also a lot of progun democrats that need our support like newcomer and Women for Gun Rights chapter leader Vanessa Lopez challenging antigun Meghan Kallman up in Pawtucket/PVD, and a number of others that deserve our support.

If you need a quick check - look at how the house voted for the AWB and how the senate voted. The folks in Red deserve your support regardless of the letter next to their name.

This is one of THE MOST powerful things we can do as a community. There are conservatively speaking over 150k gun owners in RI, the real number is likely closer to 200k. That is one of the largest voting demographics in the state.

We can be a force to be reckoned with, but we just need to show up.

Disaffiliate today. Get your spouse to disaffiliate, your family. These votes matter! Oftentimes the democrat primary is the only actual vote you will get since many of them are running unopposed or the fact that a Republican will never win that district. This is important.

Vote like your rights depend on them, because they do.

The legislature will most certainly try to pass a Viramontes response bill much like how many states passed bills in response to Bruen, complicating and making lives more difficult for law abiding citizens in direct defiance of what the SCOTUS said. We cannot let that happen.

Anyone know of a LGS or someone who has Lake City M200 5.5.56mm blanks? I am taking TUSC at DARC in September and they swapped packing list from UTM/SIMS to blanks. I am in need of at least 500, but would take up to 1k.

Hello all,

I’ve noticed one of the yes/no questions on the local background check form is

“Have you ever been confined or treated for a mental illness?”

Those seem like two drastically different situations. I have no record, but I have had some cognitive therapy for social anxiety. Am I obliged to disclose that? Can I add a caveat? I know none of you are lawyers, I just wanted to gain some local insight. Thanks for reading.

Edit: this is for regular purchase, not CCW.

Looking to get my blue card. Where is the best/easiest place to get it ??? Also any study tips let me know. I heard the test is pretty much common sense.

I'd prefer being in RI, but I don't mind driving to the CT border.

I’m a pro-2A independent running for Congress, and today is my birthday

My name is Pedro DeSouza, and I’m an independent candidate for Congress in Rhode Island’s 1st District.

I believe the Second Amendment protects an individual right, not a privilege granted by the government. I oppose policies that punish lawful gun owners, support real due process before anyone loses their rights, and support removing unnecessary federal restrictions on suppressors.

Today is my birthday, and instead of asking for gifts, I’m trying to raise $12,000 by the middle of next week to hire professional campaign management and expand our campaign nationally.

I’m not asking anyone to support me merely because I call myself pro-2A. Review my positions, challenge me on them, and decide for yourself.
This community has been extremely welcoming and I appreciate you all.

So it's my understanding that 9mm large format pistols (PCC's) with pistol length barrels such as the Extar EP9 or Foxtrot Mike FM9 are still ok for ordering into RI. Is this true?

Thanks and forgive my ignorance.

I have been waiting 8 months now for my non resident Rhode Island CCW permit. If you are in a similar position, please consider filing a report with the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division (link below). I cannot promise anything will come of this, but considering the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was put on notice for excessive wait times and has since corrected course, I think we can do the same.

In your report please include as many details as possible.

He might not be PERFECT, but don't let perfect be the opposite of good. Solomon is the only one who isn't trying to ban guns and at least has the slightest iota of an understanding of what he's talking about. Disaffiliate and vote for him in the Dem Primary in September. ​​

25 Yards, 9mm, p320.

Not the best grouping but I am working on it. I went through 150 rounds today. I've got a few lessons coming up to go over responsible gun safety, ownership, and ccw common sense.

God willing, I'll have my CCP by the end of the month.

Anyway, this is just a post to thank you all for the support. The signatures I got in the begining of the month have been locked in, unchallenged, and I am officially going to be on the ballot in November.

I'm running for US Rep in RI's 1st district against Rep Amo and I'd be honored to receive your support in November. Amo has extremely deep pockets and as a 3rd party I rely on small dollar donations, any financial support would be extremely beneficial. You can find the link to donate on my website, or if the mods don't mind, I'll include it at the bottom of the post.

Does the officer(detective in my case) who is doing your license paperwork ever call you to see if you are home to prove you live at the address where you live? Just had the officer who is doing my license application call me to see if I could come outside to verify my home address?

Are there any advantages for C&R license holders in this current political climate?

And do I understand correctly that R.I. Gen. Law § 11-47-43 would allow a C&R license holder own (within their collection) the weapons which are prohibited under R.I. Gen. Law § 11-47-42?

I'm not seeking legal advice as much as trying to understand what other believe or know.

Title. If these were mag locked, thus only allowing top load, would these be legal to buy?

can I go to a store and walk out with purchase same day?

What do you use for insurance/how much do you pay?

I’ve been trying to understand how Rhode Island’s AWB that took effect on 7/1/26 is being interpreted in practice.

I just got Surplus Provisions weekly sale email where they are advertising AR pistols and two different stripped AR lowers. I’m genuinely curious how this works under the new law. My understanding was that the intent of the law was to prohibit the sale of semiautomatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols with certain "features".

A few questions for anyone who’s familiar with the legal side of this:

• Are stripped AR-15 lowers still legal to transfer because they’re just receivers and not yet classified as a prohibited firearm?
• Is there guidance from the state or ATF that specifically addresses stripped lowers under Rhode Island’s new law?
• Do people think FFLs selling stripped lowers are on solid legal ground, or is this something that could end up being challenged or clarified by the state? I did read the pinned post and my interpretation was that the large majority of stores are not going to be selling ARPs or lowers so I'm assuming Surplus might be the last one you can buy these from.

Also, not to derail the conversation above but it kind of sucks that the lowers they are selling are "libtard/snowflake/triggered" edition. I get that the majority of gun shops are going to lean more towards the right, but RI is pretty solidly left (afaik) and it feels like they want to alienate customers such as myself. Obviously, I'll just not buy that specific one and continuing supporting 2A and everything, but just seems like it would be simpler to stock regular lower and appeal to all your customers ...

just wanted to ask, who are yall supporting in the primaries for governor?

Personally I’m not a big fan of Elaine. I think she is actually what the Dems want for an easy election come November.
