18. Vermont is the only state where this has always been the case, since it became a state in 1791.

The open or concealed carry of firearms is generally unregulated. The state's rural character, along with its strong hunting and outdoor sports traditions, have contributed to the state's historically permissive gun policies. Gun dealers are required to keep a record of all handgun sales.

State law preempts local governments from regulating the possession, ownership, transfer, carrying, registration or licensing of firearms.

The State neither issues nor requires a permit to carry a weapon on one's person, openly or concealed. This is known in the U.S. as constitutional carry. The phrase "constitutional carry" reflects the view that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not abide restrictions on gun rights, including the right to carry or bear arms.

Vermont is the only state where this has always been the case (hence the alternative term Vermont carry). Vermont law does not distinguish between residents and non-residents of the state; both have the same right to carry without prior state approval while in Vermont.
