Vermont law prohibits any person, firm or corporation, other than a parent or guardian, from selling or furnishing any ammunition to a minor under age 16.¹ Federal law, however, imposes stricter age requirements on the sale of ammunition.

Vermont does not:

• Require a license for the sale of ammunition;
• Require sellers of ammunition to maintain a record of the purchasers;
• Prohibit persons who are ineligible to possess firearms under state law from possessing ammunition, although the federal ammunition purchaser prohibitions  apply; or
• Prohibit armor-piercing ammunition, although the federal prohibition on certain kinds of armor-piercing ammunition applies.
