Approved............................................................................Mayor
Be it ordained by the City of Warwick:
Section I. Chapter 6 Article IV of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Warwick is hereby
amended to add the following:
Sec. 6-72. Permits: Concealed Carry Weapons.
(a) Preamble: R.I.G.L. 11-47-11 establishes the standards for local municipalities to issue
Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) permits; and as qualified applicants are law abiding citizens
trained and certified in the use of firearms they must be treated with dignity and respect as they
engage in the legal right to seek said permit; while the Board of Public Safety has the power to
regulate the issuance of CCW permits for the City of Warwick, it is critical to ensure procedures
and standards are not imposed in an overly broad or arbitrary manner; Warwick residents and
business owners who meet the criteria set forth by the State of RI must be ensured a timely, fair
and consistent process to apply for a CCW permit through our municipal licensing authority; in
an effort to promote transparency in government, avoid any misunderstandings, and protect
applicants right to due process, applicants who are denied a CCW permit must be notified of the
reason(s) for disapproval in a timely, written manner; and some inconsistencies in the processing
of CCW permits have provided a general impression that the City of Warwick may periodically
engage in illegal gun control practices in contradiction to R.I.G.L. 11-47-11.
(b) The Warwick Board of Public Safety shall adhere to the following procedures in considering
the application and issuance of CCW permits:
1. The Warwick Board of Public Safety (a.k.a. The Board), as the licensing authority for
the City of Warwick is charged with issuing Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) permits.
Individuals must be twenty-one (21) years of age or older to apply for a CCW permit and
meet the following criteria:
b. Have a bona fide residence or place of business within the City of Warwick
verified by either the Warwick Board of Canvassers, Warwick Department of
Taxation or the Warwick Chief of Police, or
c. Have a bona fide residence within the United States and a license or permit to
carry a pistol or revolver concealed upon his or her person issued by the
authorities of any other state or subdivision of the United States.
2. Per R.I.G.L. 11-47-11, The Board shall issue a permit to an applicant to carry a pistol or
revolver concealed upon his/her person everywhere within this state for four (4) years
from date of issue. This permit shall not contain any restrictions, however State and
from date of issue. This permit shall not contain any restrictions, however State and
Federal law shall still apply. The permit shall be issued to the applicant if
a. It appears that the applicant has good reason to fear an injury to his or her person
or property, or
b. The applicant has any other proper reason for carrying a pistol or revolver, and
c. He or she is a suitable person to be so licensed.
3. An applicant is not required to present a purpose or need beyond what is called for in
R.I.G.L. 11-47-11. For the purpose of applications to The Board under R.I.G.L. 1147-11 Self defense shall constitute a proper reason as required by statute. No line of
questioning by The Board during the interview process will call for speculation as to how
the applicant may alter his or her actions to negate the request/use of a CCW permit.
4. The Board will review the completed application along with three letters of reference and
a Background Criminal Investigation (BCI) within 60 calendar days of receipt. Letters of
reference shall only be required for new, not renewal, permit applications. Applicants are
required to appear before The Board for a personal interview. The specific reason(s) for
denying a CCW permit must be provided in writing by registered mail within 10 business
days of conducting the interview or the permit shall be automatically issued.
5. Legitimate reasons for an applicant to be deemed unsuitable to be licensed are as follows:
a. Be ineligible to possess a firearm by virtue of having been convicted of a felony.
b. Have been committed, either voluntarily or involuntarily, for the abuse of a
controlled dangerous substance, or been found guilty of, or entered a plea of
guilty or nolo contendere to a misdemeanor under RI General laws or similar laws

period immediately preceding the date on which the application is submitted, or
be presently charged under indictment or a bill of information for such an offense.
c. Found guilty of, or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to operating a
vehicle while intoxicated, or has been admitted, either voluntarily or involuntarily,
for treatment as an alcoholic, within the five-year period immediately preceding
the date on which the application is submitted, or at any time after the application
has been submitted.
d. Entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to or been found guilty of a crime of
violence, including domestic abuse, at the misdemeanor level, unless five years
have elapsed since completion of sentence or any other conditions set by the court
have been fulfilled, or unless the conviction was set aside and the prosecution
dismissed, prior to the date on which the application is submitted.
e. Been convicted of, have entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or be
charged under indictment or a bill of information for any crime of violence or any
crime punishable by imprisonment for a term of one year or greater.
f. Is a fugitive from justice.
g. Released from active or reserve duty from the Armed Forces of the United States
with a discharge characterized as Bad Conduct Discharge, or a Dishonorable
Discharge. In the case of Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers of the

i. Be ineligible to possess or receive a firearm under 18 U.S.C. 922(g).
j. Had a permit revoked by The Board within four years prior to the most recent

Island, The Board shall not provide or release to any individual, firm, association or
corporation the name, address, or date of birth of any person who has held or currently
holds a license or permit to carry a concealed pistol or revolver. This section shall not be
construed to prohibit the release of any statistical data of a general nature relative to age,
gender and racial or ethnic background nor shall it be construed to prevent the release of
information to parties involved in any prosecution of 11-47-8 or in response to a lawful
subpoena in any criminal or civil action which the person is a party to that action.
7. Warwick ordinance 40-1(19) Disorderly Conduct is the prevailing law for those
individuals issued a CCW permit unless circumstances necessitates the gun owner to no
longer keep his or her weapon concealed.
