Is open carry of firearms legal in Vermont?

Yes, without any permit
Yes, but with a permit
No, open carry is prohibited
Yes, but only in rural areas

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

The open carry of firearms in Vermont is indeed legal without any permit. This is consistent with Vermont's firearms laws, which allow law-abiding citizens to openly carry a firearm as long as they are not prohibited from owning one. The state has a long history of permissive gun laws, and there are no specific licensing requirements for openly carrying a firearm in public. Vermont's stance on open carry reflects its commitment to individual rights concerning self-defense and the exercise of Second Amendment rights. This legal framework distinguishes Vermont from many other states that often require permits or have restrictions for open carry.
