Shooting in Vermont

[John Davis]

How difficult is it for a nonresident to buy shotgun shells in Vermont?

You don't have enough?

Seriously though, pistol permits, hunting licenses, Ammunition ID cards; Just about anything that says you know which end of the gun the bullet leaves from.
Some places look at the docs, and say yup (some don't actually even ask) and some point their laser scanner at it.
You have to have something in CT to even buy a bag of shot, but you can buy some training weights you strap on your ankle (or ex wife) and need nothing.

Hey Edgar, what size shot is in those training weights… or did you use all you had on submerging your ex-wife??

With the cost of shot, it's almost cheaper to rent a wood chipper.

Edgar, a chest freezer and rock crusher are better than a chipper. Being in stone quarry country, I've read about it.

Well boys, I expect you will receive a visit from some men dressed in polyester and tin in the near future. Mr. Edgar I will be the guardian of your 16 gauges until the investigation is complete.

I am unsure as to whom tipped them off to this post.

If you have a problem of purchasing ammo in Vermont, just drive east a bit to the Live Free or Die State of New Hampshire and you may purchase all the ammo you want with NO questions asked! We have concealed carry with no permit required.

I was visiting my daughter in college in CT. Thought I would pick up some ammo at Cabelas on the way home.....Was told I would need a non-resident long gun permit, which I could get after an 8 hour class.
It's actually worse than NY.

I’ve never had a problem buying ammo in Vermont John, but then I almost always bring plenty with me. Vermont is where I have hunted for my entire adult life, with only a few forays to Maine, NH and Ohio.
For such a left-leaning state Vermont’s gun laws are very lenient. In fact, anywhere you can carry a long arm in Vermont you can carry a handgun.
