Please, you don't have to be Newt Gingrich to have your car
confiscated.

On the other hand, the state can regulate ownership and use
of cars justabout any way it wants. Same with guns.

PROPER SHOWING OF NEED
In considering each individual application for a pistol
permit the Attorney General must determine whether or not
the applicant has demonstrated a proper showing of need to
carry a loaded firearm in public, and consider the
individual's demonstration of skill and responsibility to
safely carry and use a firearm in compliance with all State,
Federal and local laws. Because a loaded, concealed firearm
in untrained hands presents danger to the public and the
applicant, the Attorney General must consider countervailing
risks to the public in assessing need.
While there cannot be any set formula or criteria to limit
or restrict the Attorney General's discretion to issue or
deny a pistol permit, the Attorney General considers the
following factors in assessing an applicant's proper showing
of need.
1. Has the applicant demonstrated a specific articulable
risk to life, limb or property? If so, has the applicant
demonstrated how a pistol permit will decrease the risk?
2. Can the applicant readily alter his or her conduct, or
undertake reasonable measures other than carrying a loaded
firearm, to decrease the danger to life, limb or property?
3. Are there means of protection available to the applicant
other than the possession of a loaded fireaun that will
alleviate the risk to his or her person or property?
4. Has the applicant demonstrated the skill, training and
ability to properly use a firearm in accordance with Rhode
Island laws?
5. Has the applicant presented a plan to properly secure the
firearm so that it does not fall into unauthorized hands?
6. How greatly will the possession of a loaded firearm by
the applicant increase the risk of harm to the applicant or
to the public?
7. Has the applicant demonstrated that he or she will not
use the firearm for an unlawful or improper purpose, and
that he or she has not used a fireai in for an unlawful or
improper purpose in the past?
8. Does past unlawful, dangerous or violent conduct of the
applicant justify denial at the Attorney General's
discretion even if it is not sufficient to disqualify the
applicant as a matter of law from possessing a firearm?
9. Has the applicant been issued a protective order pursuant
to chapter 15-5, chapter 15-15, or chapter 8- 8.1 of the
general laws?
10. Any and all other factors deemed lawful and appropriate
by the Attorney General to demonstrate that the applicant is
or is not a person suitable to possess a loaded firearm in
public.
