In Vermont, who is prohibited from possessing a firearm?

Convicted felons
Individuals under 16 without adult supervision
Non-residents
Individuals without a hunting license

The correct answer is: Convicted felons

In Vermont, individuals who have been convicted of a felony are prohibited from possessing firearms. This restriction stems from broader laws designed to prevent those who have committed serious offenses from having access to firearms, recognizing that such individuals may pose a higher risk to public safety. The other options, while related to firearm possession, do not impose the same legal restrictions. For instance, individuals under 16 generally need adult supervision for safety reasons, but this does not constitute a complete prohibition on firearm possession in Vermont. Non-residents are not automatically barred from possessing firearms unless they fall under specific disqualifying circumstances. Finally, possessing a hunting license is not a requirement for firearm ownership; rather, it pertains to hunting regulations and does not impose an overarching restriction on gun possession.
