Can minors possess firearms in Vermont?

Yes, with no restrictions
Yes, but only with adult supervision
Yes, but only for hunting and with a valid license
No, minors are not allowed to possess firearms

The correct answer is: Yes, but only with adult supervision

In Vermont, minors are allowed to possess firearms, but there are specific conditions that must be met to ensure safety and responsibility. The correct understanding is that minors can possess firearms but only when they are under adult supervision. This guideline is designed to promote safe handling and ensure that an experienced adult is present to provide guidance and oversight, minimizing the risks associated with firearm possession by young individuals. While there are certain exemptions, including those that relate to hunting where minors might be allowed to carry a firearm with the appropriate licenses and under the supervision of an adult, the key element is the presence of an adult to ensure safe practices. This rule reflects Vermont’s focus on the responsible use of firearms, especially when it involves younger, less experienced individuals.
