Yes, with a permit
No, it's prohibited with certain exceptions
Yes, but only for law enforcement
Yes, if it's unloaded and locked

The correct answer is: No, it's prohibited with certain exceptions

In Vermont, possessing a firearm in a school zone is generally prohibited, with specific exceptions that may apply. This law is designed to enhance the safety of students and school staff, thereby reducing the risk of firearms being introduced into schools where children are present. There are instances where exceptions may be applicable, such as if a person is permitted to carry a firearm for specific reasons defined in the law, but generally, the possession of firearms within designated school zones is not allowed to ensure a safer environment for educational institutions. Understanding this regulation is crucial for responsible gun ownership and compliance with state laws.
