Can I bring my firearm from my house in MA to my friends house in RI as long as it is in a locked case and unloaded for the purposes of cleaning?
 
Handgun, or rifle?

Rhode Island is cool with transport of an unloaded rifle; like most states RI has no state licensing requirements for the possession of rifles, shotguns, and handguns by adults.

OTOH, RI is weird about transport of handguns. As a non-resident without a RI permit, you can transport through the state non-stop, and from your "dwelling house" to the range, but can't bring a handgun to your friend's house if that is not your "dwelling house".

See this ancient thread to become even more confused:
