Question on RI blue Card test

[JOHN1964]

I am going to take the test Wed for my blue card here in RI. The questions that are on there are there any about the caliber and different styles of guns or is it mostly safety related.


Thanks in advance for your time.

It's been years, but I think they asked about different handgun actions and there was a question about calibers (think it was 38 special vs 357). But mostly about safety...

It is all pretty much safety related. Don't stress out about it, it is all just common sense. Real easy. Where in RI are you and what shop are you taking it at?

It's been awhile since I took it but it's mostly saftey questions. I remember going with my cousin (who has zero knowledge when it comes to guns) a couple years back and he passed it.

It's almost all common sense safety stuff. If you have ever taken a basic firearms safety course or a hunter safety course you will pass with flying colors. I walked into a shop a week after I moved into RI, and just took the test not knowing what would be on it. I got my blue card in the mail about a week later. I believe the shops have a study guide you can take home to study for the exam.

I would tell you it's all basic common sense and safety stuff, but everyone else already did.

I have to wait for the blue card to come in then I can buy might go with the sig p250 9 mm Never shot before will be joining a range and take some classes.

Good on you for taking some classes. Though I certainly don't think that it should be mandated I do think that it's a good idea for new shooters to educate themselves.
