Suppressors[edit]

heard there were no suppressors (silencers) allowed, someone add it to the notes on NFA weapons — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.69.35 (talk) 05:01, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The applicable law is 13 V.S.A. § 4010, which reads (in part):

(c) A person shall not use a gun suppressor in the State, except for use by:

Do Vermonters have to pay taxes if they don't have guns?[edit]

There were some news about fining citizens for not having a gun. Is it true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unnamed666 (talk • contribs) 04:41, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have heard of such laws existing in the New England in the 1700s. I'm confident there has been no such law in the 20th or 21st century. Jc3s5h (talk) 10:51, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
