Hi All
I am a British gun owner and after many enjoyable holidays in New England I am looking to purchase some land and a cabin in Vermont.
My questions are regarding the laws in VT, specifically:
- I understand that VT does not require carry permits - does anyone know if this automatic right to carry might extend to a non-US citizen/temporary resident?
- Are there any specific restrictions with firearms purchases in VT pertaining to non-citizens or residents?
I am aware of Brits who visit regularly on temporary visas, who have obtained CCW permits in states like Idaho who use permits but do not ask for citizenship as a mandatory part of the application criteria. I wonder if the super relaxed gun laws in VT and lack of carry permit means a free pass for me. Somehow I doubt it!
All of this is asked assuming full compliance with the local laws and a spotless personal background if checked.
Appreciate this is very left-field and it may be better to enquire directly with local counties, but just thought I would throw it out there to the knowledgable folks on here.
Cheers
Cris
