Oh, and AS 29.35.145 prohibits local municipalities from infringing upon that right. (Which is what makes Alaska better than Vermont, VT=no preemption.)
I beg to differ, jgcoastie,
Vermont Statutes:
24 V.S.A. § 2295. Authority of municipal and county governments to regulate firearms, ammunition, hunting, fishing and trapping
Except as otherwise provided by law,
no town, city or incorporated village, by ordinance, resolution or other enactment, shall directly regulate hunting, fishing and trapping or the
possession, ownership, transportation, transfer, sale, purchase, carrying, licensing or registration of traps,
firearms, ammunition or components of firearms or ammunition. This section shall not limit the powers conferred upon a town, city or incorporated village under section 2291(8) of this title. The provisions of this section shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of a municipal charter.
(Added 1987, No. 178 (Adj. Sess.), eff. May 9, 1988.)
§ 2291. Enumeration of powers.
For the purpose of promoting the public health, safety, welfare, and convenience, a town, city, or incorporated village shall have the following powers:
(8) To regulate or prohibit the use or discharge,
but not possession of, firearms within the municipality or specified portions thereof, provided that an ordinance adopted under this subdivision shall be consistent with section 2295 of this title and shall not prohibit, reduce, or limit discharge at any existing sport shooting range, as that term is defined in section 5227 of Title 10.
