I'm no lawyer, but this law would seem to put any range(s) within the state of Vermont at risk of, at the very least, having to defend themselves in court if they conduct certain competitive events. Since marksmanship skills used in various competitions could be
"used in or in furtherance of a civil disorder", it would seem that only hurdle would be to prove intent.
