Prohibited Purchasers Generally in Vermont

Federal law prohibits certain persons from purchasing or possessing firearms, such as felons, certain domestic abusers, and certain people with a history of mental illness.

Vermont has not adopted any classes of prohibited persons broader than those set forth under federal law (or made sales to those purchasers a state crime).

A Vermont court may, as a condition of probation, require that an offender or juvenile offender refrain from purchasing or possessing a firearm or ammunition unless granted written permission by the court, probation officer, or juvenile probation officer.

Vermont has no laws preventing the purchase or possession of firearms by:

- Violent misdemeanants;
- Persons with mental illness;
- Persons subject to domestic violence restraining orders;
- Drug or alcohol abusers; or
- Juvenile offenders.
