    Default Purchasing ammo online and shipping to RI

    I have a friend who claims that you do not need to have a rhode island LTC or FID to purchase ammunition either in store or online, and that you only need to be over the age of 18. Is this correct or do you actually need a firearm license of some sort?

    Now obviously he would not be able to carry the ammo into boardering states like Massachusetts with laws on ammo saying that you must have a license to carry ammo, but is he legal to carry this ammo as long as he stays in rhode island?

    No license is needed to buy or possess ammo in RI. I drove down there a couple of months ago and bought ammo from a gun store there.

    In the majority of states there are no such things as LTCs or FIDs. Our licenses are just for concealed carry. There are no licenses to buy guns, hold guns, use guns, look at guns, transport guns, buy ammo, look at ammo, borrow ammo, sell ammo, store ammo, or any of the dozen other bullshit reasons you need to be licensed for in MA.

    RI has a "pistol permit" (carry license) and "blue card" (needed to buy a handgun), but no licensing to buy or possess ammunition.

    That's why I'm looking into moving out, maybe even Ohio.

    Blue card only needed to buy at a FFL. FTF has no requirements. Also, no card or license needed to possess a handgun, but only at home. You can only possess outside of the home in a very limited set of circumstances without a CCW permit.
