Hi guys,
I'v a quick question I think I know the answer to but would like clarification.
I have a camp up in northern NH across the road from the CT river. Being so close to VT I end up there often. I went ahead & got a NH permit so I can carry legally in a vehicle and usually carry into VT without a second thought.
I'v always been told & thought that VT had no laws to break as far as guns go, that if you could legally own a handgun you could carry it on your person or in your car loaded without troubles.
A few weeks ago I took an NRA pistol instructors course. At the course was a gentleman from NH. We got to talking about things and once it got around to guns & VT he said that while it was legal to carry a gun without a permit it was illegal to carry a loaded pistol in a car. Said he had friends get in trouble during hunting season like that. I think he's wrong but he insisted & I just changed the subject, he seemed to feel "on the spot" because there were alot of people listening. I'm thinking he might have been confused & be thinking loaded rifles or some F&G laws, but I'm not familiar that with VT's hunting laws.
Anyway I'v looked since & have found nothing to support his statements so I figured I'd run it by the folks here.
