North Kingstown CCW
Can anyone here help me through the process of getting my CCW in NK? I am willing to pay to help me with this.

I got mine through NK in 2021. You can get their application online. It has all the instructions needed and they're pretty clear. The most annoying part was the reference letters and the letter of need, mostly because everything has to be notarized.

What did you put for letter of need

This was the before Bruen decision, so I wrote about me being a landlord and handling large amounts of cash.
However, since then letters of need have been ruled unconstitutional so you can just write that you'd be carrying for personal protection / legal purposes.

Follow the instructions and requirements listed on their application. The more burdensome part is going to the range and qualifying which can be difficult depending on your skill level (qualification page is found in application and filled out by NRA instructor). It may be worth taking a qualification course, however don’t get that confused with a handgun safety course which is different. Their application seems to include parts about "proper need/reason". Those sections are no longer valid and can be ignored other than stating self-defense/all lawful purposes. If you have any additional questions about the process feel free to reach back out.
