Does Vermont have laws that prohibit carrying firearms in places of worship?
Yes, firearms are banned
No, unless the place of worship prohibits them
Yes, but only during services
No, but concealed carry is not allowed
The correct answer is: No, unless the place of worship prohibits them
Vermont law does not have a blanket prohibition against carrying firearms in places of worship. However, it allows individual places of worship to establish their own rules regarding firearms on their premises. This means that if a specific house of worship chooses to prohibit firearms, individuals must comply with that rule. This approach reflects Vermont's broader stance on gun ownership and personal freedom, emphasizing the rights of property owners and organizations to make their own choices about firearm policy. This flexibility enables places of worship to decide whether they want to allow firearms based on their specific beliefs and community needs.
