Are background checks required for private gun sales in Vermont?

  1. No

  2. Yes, for all gun sales

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but exemptions exist for family transfers

The correct answer is: Yes, for all gun sales

The correct answer is that background checks are not required for private gun sales in Vermont. This reflects the state's lenient regulations surrounding private sales, where individuals can buy and sell firearms without undergoing a background check, which is distinct from federal regulations that may apply in other contexts. In Vermont, private sales between individuals do not involve the same requirements as commercial sales, where background checks are mandated. Though the other choices suggest various conditions under which background checks might be necessary, they do not align with Vermont's actual law regarding private gun sales.
