Bill would ban guns in Vermont government buildings, hospitals
Updated Jan 22, 2021;
The Senate Judiciary Committee heard nearly three hours of testimony Wednesday, the Bennington Banner reported.
“If you were to ask the average Vermonter, they would say those are common-sense ideas,” said Sen. Phil Baruth, a Democrat and Progressive from Burlington, who introduced the bill. “You don’t need and don’t want guns in those areas.”
He said he was inspired to file the bill because of political tensions and inflamed rhetoric over the past several years, including scenes of armed protesters entering statehouses and the U.S. Capitol in “an intimidating and sometimes threatening manner.”

Vermontâs criminal statutes include laws banning firearms from schools and courthouses. Do they need additional laws extending that ban to government buildings, hospitals and child care centers?
The Senate Judiciary Committee took up that question on Wednesday, hearing nearly three hours of testimony on S. 30, a bill that would make possessing a firearm in those places a misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
The bill, introduced by state Sen. Phil Baruth, D/P Chittenden, is supported by more than half of the Senate. Its 15 cosponsors include Senate President pro tem Becca Balint, D-Windham, Sen. Brain Campion, D-Bennington, and Sen. Jeanette White, D-Windham.
