RI CCW Use of Force Course

RI CCW Use of Force Course – The use of force, and the use of deadly force are two very different topics and both situations require a very different response. Our Rhode Island CCW Use of Force Course examines a variety of scenarios where you may be justified in using force but may not be justified in using deadly force. We review Rhode Island Case Law, Rhode Island General Laws and the six (6) conditions of deadly force. We also discuss the importance of avoiding potentially dangerous situations and examine a number of scenarios where using no force at all may be the best choice. Additionally, we cover firearm safety, storage, transport laws, and explore the process of applying for your RI pistol permit.
