Beautiful state, lovely people, but too many guns.
VT has literally no gun laws. No CC restrictions, no permit requirements. The only restrictions are federal.
It is very much a gun humping state. It's the people that don't abuse that keep things sane.

Vermont gun laws are the most permissive in the United States. The state does not issue permits for carrying firearms and operates on an "Unrestricted" policy. Any person 16 or older (Federal law requires the age to be 18) and who can legally possess a firearm is allowed to carry openly or concealed. There is no distinction between resident or non-resident, both are allowed to carry without a permit in Vermont.
