It is worth noting RI has a couple of measures in place that many other states do not: A 7 day waiting period which serves as a cool down period, but it also is time in which the paperwork must be signed off on by the purchasers local police department. In many of these mass shootings law enforcement has been familiar with the shooter, but shooter didn’t have a record which flags on the 4473 (form filled out for Federal background check) so they were able to purchase firearms legally. In the case of RI the local PD can deny the sale if the person doesn’t have a criminal history, but is known to have issues that haven’t involved arrest (psych, substance abuse, etc) and would be concerning for firearm purchase. The only exception to this is if someone holds a CCW, however those require a substantial amount of vetting in RI including qualifying with a firearm, 3 references with notarized letters, finger prints, meeting with local PD etc.

I’m from MA right over the RI border.

We loved them both equally, but I think Village Haven felt fancier because it was less crowded and they have the cinnamon buns there. My Uncle and his ex wife had their wedding reception there.

With that said, my sister had her wedding reception at Wrights and my Senior Prom Committee (I was on it) chose to have our prom at Wright’s because we all went often.

TLDR: Love them both
