Vermont Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Does Vermont have a red flag law?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Yes, but it's a municipal law, not state

4. No, but there's a similar protective order

The correct answer is: Yes

Vermont does have a red flag law, which allows for the temporary removal of firearms from individuals who are deemed to be a risk to themselves or others. Option B, stating that Vermont does not have a red flag law, is incorrect. Option C mentions a municipal law, which refers to a law that is enforced by a city or local government rather than the entire state. This option is incorrect as Vermont's red flag law is a state law. Option D mentions a similar protective order, but this is not the same as a red flag law. Protective orders are typically granted by a court or judge and require an individual to stay away from a specific person or location, while red flag laws are specific to firearm possession. Therefore, option D is also incorrect.
