Guns Are Flying Off The Shelves, What Should You Legally Know?
During these uncertain times, people in Vermont and all over the country are buying guns at an unprecedented rate. However, there are some things you should keep in mind as possessing a firearm is a very serious matter and one that is surrounded by a lot of legal issues.
First of all, you should make sure you are purchasing a gun from a
licensed dealer as improperly purchasing a gun is a crime in itself.
Even before purchasing a gun, you need to make sure you have the proper
permits from the state and you have undergone the appropriate background
checks.
When you have your firearm, make sure you keep it in a secure location where only you have access to it. Make sure you only use it in approved locations so as to avoid endangering others and being charged with a
weapons offense.
