Default Information page slightly misleading - should be changed, I think

The main page for Vermont says you must:

"1. Be of age. In the state of Vermont, that age is 16 or older. You must be at least 16 years of age to legally purchase a gun and keep it loaded on your person in public.
2. Obtain permission from a parent or guardian to carry a gun if you're under the age of 16. Failure to do so may result in being deemed a delinquent child by the state."

To the uninformed reader 1) makes it sound like you must be 16 or older to carry a loaded gun in public. But this is false. If you are under 16 you may carry a loaded gun in public with permission from your parents, as we see from 2) and the actual legislation.

I think this should be corrected as it would tend to mislead. Careful readers of the whole page will see that it is self-contradictory and go read the actual law to see the actual position, but less careful ones would get the wrong impression.

I realize that federal law stands in the way in most circumstances for people under 18, but this is not even mentioned in the page either.

I've read this a few times and still can't figure out what is misleading. I am stating exactly what you say is misleading and should be corrected.
