State Gun Laws

Laws current as of July 19, 2024

I've read all of this information, but I’m still confused. What can I do?

Gun laws can be confusing! Here are a few places you can contact for help understanding the law and your rights:

  • WomensLaw Email Hotline – you can write in to ask questions.
  • Local domestic violence organizations – visit our Rhode Island Advocates and Shelters page to find organizations near you or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline 24/7 by calling (800) 799-SAFE (7233) or using their chat option.
  • National Center on Protection Orders and Full Faith & Credit – for more information on federal gun laws and how they may apply to you, call 1-800-903-0111 x 2.
