This post is VERY old, but for any future readers I'll still comment. You can shoot in an area that's 500 feet away from any house, road, barn, etc. But my house and road are well within 500 feet but haven't had any issues yet, no talking to with the police or anything yet. Just use your head, if it's within 500 feet but clearly very safe then I say go for it(don't get ridiculous though, can't be a couple steps off the road), if it's farther than 500 feet but isn't safe(such as shooting down a hill, aka bullet can travel a large distance) then I say don't do it. As long as it's safe I don't think they'll give you any problems, or they'll come talk to you and give you a warning and say you can't shoot there. Those are my thoughts on the matter and what I know about the shooting restrictions
That constitution state has unconstitutionally banned the use of many different types of commonly owned arms.Vermont has laws? LOL just kidding. I would find it hard to believe that if I can shoot on my own property in MA (following all laws like 500' from neighbors, no shooting over the road, etc) then a Constitution state like Vermont would ban it. I however am not a lawyer so check it out first.
