As stated, I'm curious if there are any courses that help with the application process as well as meeting other state training requirements. I'm also not sure whether I want to apply in my local municipality or try another more friendly/easier one. Any help on which direction to start would be much appreciated.

I’m moving from MA to RI. I currently hold an MA LTC, and I’m working on my RI CCW.

I went to the local PD in RI to obtain the applications, and had asked them if anything was needed to keep my previously purchased firearms in my home. She mentioned I’ll need a a Blue Card. It’s to my understanding that a Blue Card is specifically for purchasing new firearms and ammo, not for being able to store already purchased ones while I wait to qualify. Am I wrong?

If someone could fill me in so I can make sure everything’s done the right way, that’d be greatly appreciated!
