Rhode Island S2163 outlines the review and appeal process for handgun permit applicants denied by the licensing authority or attorney general.
Rhode Island S2163 establishes a formal review and appeal process for individuals denied a permit or license to carry a handgun. An applicant denied a concealed carry permit can request a meeting with the licensing authority to reconsider the application. If the application is still denied after this meeting, the applicant can appeal to the superior court for a trial de novo. The court may award reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and filing fees to the prevailing applicant if the denial lacked a good faith basis.
