I was at California Taco picking up my order. I was not in the view of any cameras unfortunately. I asked the pizza shop and the liquor store.

Which neighborhood? My neighbor also had their car stolen 2 weeks ago. Ask your neighbors if they have a ring camera they can check for you.

I’ll take what you’re having. You can have the mirror. Just give me what you’re on.

National guard and/or reserve training weekend.
What’s the point of the question. Did you think it was cool or worried about something?

How would respecting and supporting the 2nd amendment be only a conservative issue?

Reply to Who Can Frame My Mirror? by RhodyViaWIClamDigger
Ashley gazed at herself in the mirror, admiring her beauty. "Oh my, I'm just so gorgeous," she thought to herself with a satisfied smile. Suddenly, her gaze shifted to the broken frame surrounding the mirror and she frowned. "But you know what would make me look even more gorgeous?" she asked, turning to her boyfriend. "If this mirror frame was fixed." She batted her lashes and pouted, pleading with him to repair it. Just then, a mysterious voice, sounding all birdlike and magical, spoke from out of the air. "Fear not, my love," it said. "To fix the frame, you must go to Providence Picture Frame. They have the expertise to repair it to its former glory and make Ashley even more beautiful." Ashley's eyes lit up, and she smiled, grateful for the wise advice of Freya, the magical being.

Just realize you have to get within a couple feet of someone to use a stun gun. Better bet is pepper spray.

No. You just keep driving straight past second beach until you can drive no more!

Please look into getting your CCW here in the Ocean State. I live in a town where it was considered very difficult to obtain a town permit but got it first shot (no pun intended). A lot of municipalities saw the writing on the wall once the Supreme Court decision against NYC came down and have been much more receptive to applicants. DM me if you need any advice. Good luck.

When mine disappeared, I called the town recycling dept and they happily dropped off new ones for free (Middletown) worth a shot…

Looking for any logic in laws relating to firearms, weapons, or anything self-defense related is a fools errand - unless of course you understand the real logic behind it, that the state want's a monopoly on violence and the ability to defend itself.
This law was rendered unconstitutional per Caetano v. Massachusetts some years back, which is binding to RI and the AG's office did say they would respect it.
That being said - our esteemed state legislature has decided not to strike the law from the books yet.
RI is one of, if not THE safest state in the union, and has enjoyed (up until recently) a healthy respect for the 2A. That is all slated to change however as last year they passed a magazine capacity bill under questionable methods, and signs point to them doing the same this year with an "assault weapons" ban.
Meanwhile - you can count on one hand the number of times rifles affected by such a ban (or high capacity magazines) were used in crime in RI year over year, and if you want to be pedantic, with both hands you can count all gun crime (assuming you don't count those committed by the police).
OP - FWIW I carried a Taser Pulse for a few years when I had to go into anywhere I couldn't bring my legal handgun - mostly just NYC - but I was fortunate enough to never have to use it.
I abhor all the restrictions on your ability to defend yourself, especially since as you described yourself as a "small (sic) female with no self defense skills" - you need something to balance the scales and even the playing field. It is unfortunate that the state legislature seeks more and more to strip that ability from you. That being said - the best thing you can do is to try to get yourself out of your situation as quickly as possible. That should be your first priority. Once that is sorted - myself (and any other member of the r/riguns community I'm sure) would be more than happy to walk you through whatever the next steps you seek in order to defend yourself adequately to your own comfort.
Good luck!

Just be sure to get a glove to make it less obvious.
Also keep a sock on the business end of the bat. If someone tries to grab it, the sock will slip off. Like a long boi toob sock

I think you can buy new ones from the DPW, assuming they have any (took months to replace mine when it was broken). Explain what happened and maybe they won’t charge you for it ( although that is probably hopelessly naive on my part). I’m sure you’re not the only one who’s bins blew away yesterday.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/RIGuns using the top posts of the year!
#1: "Magazines are not arms or in common use, so we can regulate them" is the dumbest argument for gun control I have ever heard. | 28 comments
#2: Today in a lawsuit we're watching, a judge denied a motion for preliminary injunction against Rhode Island's ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds, calling it “common-sense public safety legislation” that "violates no one's constitutional rights." | 61 comments
#3: Looks like FPC is FINALLY getting involved | 19 comments

There's also r/RIguns for a more local take. I haven't seen much of a political split there other than the obvious anger and frustration with those in the statehouse in general.
Also better off just getting a NH license than a Utah one if your intention is to get a RI ccw, but of course get whatever level of training you need.
