As a mass resident, can I buy ammo in Rhode Island?

[Cearex]

All the info I'm finding either seems to be old or referring to Maine/NH.

 

[Zappa]

Yes

 

[mpkeelee]

Yup, just drive over and get your ammo. It used to be the same way for us near Cabelas in CT.

 

[Cearex]

Cool. Thanks guys.

 

[nlaren]

Yes, but I've found in the last year if you use any thing but cash and they request ID they will want to see your permit once they see you're from MA.

Where? Certainly not at a LGS? Walmart, maybe.

 

[Hoon]

95% of the time no one will ask for any form of ID (unless you look really young).

 

[Cearex]

Yup, no Id or license was asked for. Easy peasy.

 

[Smash05]

Yes

 

[Len-2A Training]

Not at Foster Bear they won't. I've even talked with the owner and he knows that I'm from MA. He told me that he used to be in MA and bailed out some years ago.

Yes you can! But they can't here.....go figure

I know this is an old thread but is the answer still the same today?

Competition Shooting Supply in Pawtucket right over the South Attleboro border asks for ID anyway. And yes when I showed him my MA license he asked if I've got an LTC and wanted me to flash it too. No big deal but why worry about MA laws if you're operating a business in RI? He said some MA guys were trying to buy 'high cap' mags from his shop before so now he checks everyone's ID for all purchases.

How were the prices?

Not bad, bit better than MA LGS but not worth the extra gas to hustle down there. He did have a dozen Wolf spam cans of x39 in stock last month I checked. Likely gone now

I live just over the line, I try not to go to RI, but might have to check it out for range ammo.

Any idea if you can buy pre ban 30 rd mags or is that something that has to be sourced in state ?

Wait, what? (me looking for "not sure if serious meme")

If they're actually preban, they're good to go from anywhere.

Except, ironically enough Rhode Island.

My understanding, and I'll admit I've not been following closely, it's that they officially have a short period (mid July?) to sell them out of state. If that's true, then anyone sitting on prebans in RI would have a particularly good reason to want to offload them into MA.

Am I misunderstanding your point?

Ok Mr. pedantic, you got me on a technicality. They have 180 days to be free. Good luck finding a lgs willing to sell them.

Are you planning on selling yours?

 

[G4Y4HK]

no you need a BLUE KAHHHHHD

I'm in MA, so I'm not sure the question applies. That said, if I were a shop owner in RI, I'd be happy to help folks sell their mags out of state until the last possible minute. I'd also sell new ones until then. Not my job to police their activities after the purchase.

I don’t even want to search this, but for clarity sake, owners of magixines have 180 days to convert/sell/destroy them. I’m fairly certain the sale of them is banned immediately.

Does anyone know?
