What is required to purchase a firearm from a private seller in Vermont?

  1. Background check

  2. Vermont residency

  3. Firearm safety course completion

  4. Nothing is required

The correct answer is: Nothing is required

In Vermont, there are no state laws that require a background check, proof of residency, or completion of a firearm safety course in order to purchase a firearm from a private seller. While federal law does require a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer, this does not apply to private sales in Vermont. Therefore, options A, B, and C are all incorrect. Option D is the correct answer because it accurately reflects the laws in Vermont for purchasing a firearm from a private seller.
