Is a background check required for private gun sales in Vermont?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

The correct answer is that a background check is not required for private gun sales in Vermont. This means that individuals can sell firearms to one another without needing to conduct a background check. Vermont has relatively permissive laws regarding private sales, allowing for greater personal responsibility and freedom in firearm ownership and transfer. In some systems, background checks are instituted for various categories of sales, particularly when it comes to handguns or certain types of firearms, but in Vermont, the law does not impose this requirement for any private sales. Therefore, the choice indicating that there is a requirement for background checks for all firearms is not aligned with Vermont's regulations.
