Here is a map of the Title 18 USC 922(q) Federal Gun Free School Zones in Burlington. Under the Federal Gun Free School Zones Act of 1995, it is a federal felony for any person to travel armed on public sidewalks, roads, or highways that pass within 1000 feet of the property line of any K-12 school, unless they have a carry permit physically issued by the State in which the school is in. Since Vermont does not have CCW permits, residents have no legal remedy. The zones on the map are circular, and are smaller than the actual zones, which are measured from the school's property line. It is an additional felony for an armed citizen or an off-duty police officer to discharge their firearm in a school zone under any circumstances.
