Is a safety course required to purchase a firearm in Vermont?

Yes, for all firearms
Yes, but only for handguns
No
Yes, but only for first-time buyers

The correct answer is: No

In Vermont, a safety course is not required to purchase a firearm. The state has relatively permissive gun laws, which allow individuals to buy firearms, including rifles, shotguns, and handguns, without the necessity of completing a safety course. This means that individuals can acquire weapons based on other requirements, such as age and not having a disqualifying criminal history, without needing to demonstrate knowledge of firearm safety through a formal course. While many advocates of gun safety encourage obtaining training for responsible firearm ownership, it is not mandated by law in Vermont. This emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and informed decision-making among gun owners, rather than government-imposed requirements.
