Are silencers legal to use on firearms in Vermont?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for hunting

  4. Yes, with law enforcement permission only

The correct answer is: Yes

In Vermont, silencers, also known as suppressors, are indeed legal to use on firearms. The state law does not impose any specific restrictions on the possession or use of suppressors. This legality is grounded in the recognition of suppressors as tools that can enhance safety by reducing noise levels, protecting hearing, and minimizing disturbance in hunting or shooting activities. While some states have limitations regarding their use or require special permits, Vermont allows citizens to possess and use them without additional regulatory burdens. This leniency makes option A the correct response in this scenario. The other options suggest varying forms of restrictions that do not align with Vermont's current laws regarding suppressors. The absence of required hunting-only use, law enforcement permissions, or outright prohibition distinguishes Vermont's stance on this matter.
