Can non-residents carry handguns in Vermont?

Yes, with a Vermont-issued permit only
No, under no circumstances
Yes, if they have a permit from their state
Yes, without any permit

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

In Vermont, non-residents are indeed allowed to carry handguns without a permit. The state of Vermont operates under a "constitutional carry" law, which permits anyone who is legally able to own a firearm to carry it openly or concealed without the requirement of a permit. This law applies regardless of whether the individual is a resident or a non-resident. There are, however, local regulations and federal laws that must always be observed, so while carrying a handgun is permitted, individuals should remain informed about any specific restrictions in the area they are in. This allowance is based on Vermont’s strong emphasis on individual rights and the belief that law-abiding citizens should have the ability to carry for self-defense without needing government permission. This understanding clarifies why the answer about non-residents being able to carry handguns without any permit is accurate, aligning with Vermont's gun laws that prioritize freedom for both residents and visiting individuals.
