Yes, with certain restrictions
No
Only for hunting

The correct answer is: Yes, without restrictions

In Vermont, suppressors, commonly known as silencers, are indeed legal to own without significant restrictions. The law allows individuals who are legally permitted to own firearms to also possess and use suppressors. It's important to note that while these devices are legal under state law, federal laws still apply, meaning that an individual must adhere to the National Firearms Act (NFA) requirements for their purchase and possession. This involves the process of applying for a tax stamp and undergoing a background check. The absence of additional state-level restrictions permits individuals to use suppressors for various lawful purposes, including hunting and target shooting, making the ownership of these devices more accessible compared to many other states where they may be more heavily regulated or prohibited altogether.
