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?

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.
Update: as of Jan 2023, you must possess the blue card for EITHER/ BOTH, a firearm or ammo.
Tough if you are using an AG issued carry permit as copying one is grounds for revocation (says so right on the back of the permit). Anyone know if town permits have the same constraint?I've only found one place that declines to ship to RI and I think it's because they don't understand the requirement. So far only one retailer has asked for the card....sent a pic, done. I'm sure more will require it as time goes on.
Mine (LTC) doesn't say anything about it a copy of it...I've never seen an AG issued LTC.Tough if you are using an AG issued carry permit as copying one is grounds for revocation (says so right on the back of the permit). Anyone know if town permits have the same constraint?
Good catch on that. My permit from Cranston that just expired also had that in there, but my new one, from Portsmouth, does not.Tough if you are using an AG issued carry permit as copying one is grounds for revocation (says so right on the back of the permit).

A town permit being revoked for making a copy would be a nice lawsuit. they pulled that out of their ass because they copied the AG.Good catch on that. My permit from Cranston that just expired also had that in there, but my new one, from Portsmouth, does not.

With how easy it is to get a Blue card that lasts a lifetime (has no expiration), there's no reason not to get one to buy ammo online.Tough if you are using an AG issued carry permit as copying one is grounds for revocation (says so right on the back of the permit).
