Any updates on which towns are easiest?
Do you have to pick up or drop off the application in person? Is the standard application used (i.e. can I just print it and mail it to a town)?
I boat in RI waters during the summer (Block, Newport, etc). I don't think it makes sense to try to get one at Block (New Shoreham) unless its done through Washington County? Maybe Newport is a better choice unless Johnston or Westerly would be easier?
Thank you!
You could apply to New Shoreham any by law they have to accept and process it. Likewise you could also apply in Newport. Just make sure that you have fulfilled all the requirements in 11-47-11, specifically the "Proper Reason" and to research relevant court cases to in which case law would support you.
In the winter, where do you keep your boat?
Most people has different reasons for wanting a CCW permit, so you should give your reasons for wanting one when you apply. There is some information on http://www.rifol.org/ccwinfo.php that you might find helpful.
so there is a spot on the form somewhere for that? I didn't see a space on the AG's form... may have overlooked it though... ?
I think you provide reason in the letter that you have to provide. If I remember correctly, you need 3 references and need to provide your own letter for why you "want/need" a permit
mystery, you can contact any of the local licensing authorities and request an application. Don't ask them if they issue, just say that you would like an application. If they give you a hard time, request it under APRA and they will give it to you since I have received applications from every licensing authority in the past. Most of them are probably outdated now so you should request the latest from them.
Much nicer - plus the AG no longer has to sign each one personally.Nice to see the RIAG is finally getting with the program and making permits that seems legit..

Interested in this thread. I have my MA LTC and want my RI non-resident LTC because I float between these 2 states all the time. Just about all my reasons for an LTC in MA apply to RI.
I called a couple police stations and they pretty much all told me to apply at the AG office. I found this thread and realize that may not be my best course of action. Johnston was one of the stations that I called and they told me that they are "reviewing their policies and not handing out any" so I should go to the AG office.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is APRA? Obviously I don't want to go down to a station and be argumentative. I want my non-resident LTC with as little hassle as possible.
Anyone have any suggestions above and beyond what's in this thread? Does the AG office have a habit of rejecting applications for no reason?
Tons of info online if you search and google. Take a look at: http://www.rifol.org/References/RI_CCW_Permits.pdf Johnston is not a town that has issued a large # of permits. I'd pick one that has issued a larger number with no denials.
I recently applied to the AG for a RI non resident LTC (Mass resident). Needless to say I got a denial letter, which I'm planning on appealing. What experience/recommendations does anyone have? I'm a NRA certified instructor, RSO and 03 FFL holder. I'm also a member of the RI National Guard. Recently I started getting requests to do quals and training in RI, so I'm looking to expand my business. As such I wanted to get my RI LTC and was surprised at the denial. Should I get a lawyer to go to the appeal process? Recommendations? Anyone with experience with the BCI Chief, who I've been told is not pro military and is the person causing all the denials?
Thanks,
Chip

Pm inboundLike previous poster "mystery" said, go to Rhode Island Firearm Owners' League and browse the info. The Forum there is also full of good info and advice. Like you, I am in and out of both states every day and live on the border by Woony. Was a pain having to dress differently all the time. Not any more.
As to a town to apply, there are several that are issuing to Non-Res. I got mine out of EG. Great people and easy process. (Pro-Tip- I did not see or interact with an actual police officer the entire process)
Downside-about a 6 week wait for the appt and then another 6-8 for the license. The issuing office is a busy place because, well, they issue. But they will issue Non-Res as long as you meet the qualifications. PM me and I can send you a copy of the application, instructions, etc. if you want.
Good luck.
I have a little card in my wallet that says it ain't so.The AG’s office doesn’t give them to anyone unless you know someone
