Under Vermont law, is it legal to carry a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs?

Yes
No
Yes, but only in your own home
Yes, but with a lower blood alcohol content than for driving

The correct answer is: No

The law in Vermont prohibits individuals from carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This is consistent with the general principle that operating any type of machinery, including firearms, requires full mental and physical faculties to ensure safety. The risks associated with impaired decision-making and coordination when using firearms are significant, leading to this legal restriction. It is important to recognize that while there may be jurisdictions or specific circumstances where carrying firearms under influence has variation, Vermont's law maintains a strict stance on this matter to promote responsible gun ownership and public safety.
