What is required to own a firearm in Vermont?

A safety training course certificate

The correct answer is: Nothing besides being of legal age and background

To own a firearm in Vermont, individuals must be of legal age and pass a background check, but there are no licensing requirements or mandatory safety training courses specifically for ownership. Vermont has relatively permissive gun laws, allowing residents to purchase and own firearms without needing a permit or license. This means that as long as a person is legally allowed to own a firearm—typically meaning they are over the age of 18 and have no disqualifying criminal or mental health history—there are no additional barriers to ownership. This aspect of Vermont's laws distinguishes it from many other states where permits or licenses are necessary, thus making the statement regarding ownership requirements accurate.
