Vermont Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What is Vermont's law regarding firearms in vehicles?

1. Firearms must be unloaded and locked up

2. Firearms can be carried freely without restriction

3. Firearms must be kept in the trunk

4. Firearms can be loaded but must not be in the glove compartment

The correct answer is: Firearms can be carried freely without restriction

In Vermont, the law allows individuals to carry firearms freely without restriction in vehicles, reflecting the state's more permissive approach to gun ownership and transport. This means that, generally, individuals do not face legal penalties for having a firearm accessible in their vehicle, provided they are lawfully possessed firearms. This law aligns with Vermont's overall emphasis on individual rights concerning firearm ownership. While some options imply restrictions on how firearms should be stored or transported, they do not reflect the current legal environment in Vermont, where responsible gun owners can carry their firearms openly or concealed in their vehicles without unnecessary constraints.
