Vermont Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

What must non-residents do to legally carry a firearm in Vermont?

1. Apply for a Vermont non-resident carry permit

2. Nothing, Vermont honors all state permits

3. Carry a valid ID and any state's carry permit

4. Non-residents cannot carry firearms in Vermont

The correct answer is: Nothing, Vermont honors all state permits

The correct choice is that non-residents do not need to take any additional steps to legally carry a firearm in Vermont because the state has a permitless carry law. Vermont allows anyone, including non-residents, to carry a concealed firearm without the requirement for a permit or license. This means if someone is legally able to possess a firearm, they can carry it openly or concealed without needing to meet further criteria set by the State of Vermont. This policy makes Vermont unique, as it does not require permits for either residents or non-residents, which sets a different standard compared to many other states. It is important to note, however, that while Vermont recognizes valid carry permits from other states, non-residents are not required to have one to carry a firearm there.
