Vermont Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Are there any magazine capacity restrictions for firearms in Vermont?

1. No restrictions

2. 10 rounds for handguns only

3. 15 rounds for rifles and shotguns

4. 10 rounds for all firearms

The correct answer is: 10 rounds for all firearms

Vermont does not have a specific magazine capacity limit for firearms. However, federal law does restrict the capacity of ammunition feeding devices to a maximum of 10 rounds for all firearms. This means that although there may not be a state-imposed limit, individuals must abide by the federal law when it comes to magazine capacity. Option A is incorrect because there may be federal restrictions in place. Option B is incorrect because it does not differentiate between handguns and rifles/shotguns. Option C is incorrect because it states a limit for rifles/shotguns, but not handguns. Therefore, option D is the most accurate answer.
