Can anyone help me locate the Reciprocity agreement between NY and Vermont allowing NY residents to Carry Pistols in VT?

Any person of legal age (not sure but 21?) can carry a handgun openly or concealed with NO PERMIT REQUIRED.
But you can't carry in Vermont within 1000 feet of school property because of the Federal Gun Free School Zones Act of 1995, Title 18 U.S.C Part 1 Chapter 44 Section 922(q) (discussed at length in this thread: [h=1]Concealed Carry Reciprocity is CURRENTLY banned under Federal Law. (Important) )[/h]
Take a map of Vermont, draw 1000-foot radiuses around every school zone, then you'll know where you can carry in Vermont without a permit.
Wow! So if one lives on a street with a school at each end they can't carry the gun? Is that because the only law in effect is federal?But you can't carry in Vermont within 1000 feet of school property because of the Federal Gun Free School Zones Act of 1995, Title 18 U.S.C Part 1 Chapter 44 Section 922(q) (discussed at length in this thread: [h=1]Concealed Carry Reciprocity is CURRENTLY banned under Federal Law.

Which applies equally as well to Vermont residents as it does out-of-state persons. And, actually, to be correct, the statement should be "you can't carry in Vermont within 1000 feet of school property without violating Federal law". You can carry a loaded handgun within 1000' of school property in Vermont (and everywhere else) and millions of people probably illegally do so every day.
Correct.
But choosing to violate a federal law - either because you think it is unconstitutional or you are just bent on breaking laws - is much different from carrying a firearm in violation of the law while not knowing it of the law.
Knowledge is so much better than ignorance regardless of the personal choices one makes.

Doesn't matter which state YOU are from, you're legal in VT.
Come over from Cali?
Bring your guns!
Come up from Maryland?
Well, now you could buy AND carry guns!
No permit required!
I left Florida and a nice security job for this freedom!
You better believe it baby!
Ignorance of the law is a valid defense?Correct.

The part of NY that borders VT are country folks. Pro gun. Upstate. Not NYC liberals who control the vote. The upstate residents are disenfranchised and have no ability to outnumber the city libs and dems. We understand perfectly but are powerless in numbers. What happens to NC as these people migrate? Residents of Southern states need be aware and concerned of this influx of NYC residents. They're coming by the thousands every year because they can't afford NYC. In the city a decent one bedroom apartment (small) is $3,500 per month. A lot of these bugs are lighting around Asheville, Hendersonville, Buncombe County. I went to look at some land and was unnerved a bit at the artsy, gay presence. Strong liberal leanings. My brother-in-law found a nice piece of land for us to split. I'm concerned these types will eventually turn the South into NYC.Be kind Charles, many residents of NY have never heard of the US Constitution.

Get the word out down there. A plague is coming slowly. It's called Northern liberalism.
Post #11 is all fine and dandy - but you still might be typing it while in prison when the US Supreme Court disagrees with you on what is and is not Constitutional.
Exactly.
In Marbary v. Madison the Court declared that it is the final arbiter of what complies with the Constitution. It does not give individuals the right to pick and choose what laws, or parts of laws, are constitutional. To allow everyone to follow their own interpretations would be anarchy.
“It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is. Those who apply the rule to particular cases must, of necessity, expound and interpret that rule. If two laws conflict with each other, the Courts must decide on the operation of each. [p178]
So, if a law be in opposition to the Constitution, if both the law and the Constitution apply to a particular case, so that the Court must either decide that case conformably to the law, disregarding the Constitution, or conformably to the Constitution, disregarding the law, the Court must determine which of these conflicting rules governs the case. This is of the very essence of judicial duty”.

So then who is to decide what legislation and actions comply with the Constitution?
