Vermont Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Are suppressors (silencers) for firearms allowed in Vermont?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only for hunting

4. Only with special permission

The correct answer is: Yes

In Vermont, suppressors, commonly referred to as silencers, are indeed allowed, aligning with the choice indicating that they are permissible. Vermont law does not impose specific restrictions on the possession or use of suppressors, making them legally available for individuals who follow the federal regulations that govern their purchase and ownership. This means that individuals interested in using suppressors can do so without requiring special permits or limitations tied to hunting. This aligns with the broader trend in some states where the use of suppressors is becoming more accepted for reasons such as reducing noise disruption, enhancing safety, and improving the shooting experience. Therefore, the correct choice reflects Vermont's stance on the legality of suppressors for firearms.
