I was going to say, Vermont never required a permit to carry concealed even when Wyoming and Arizona were about as strict as New York.
I actually like Wyoming more than either New York or Florida. Vermont is OK, but home is home.
Since you would rather live in Vermont than Florida, I'm guessing your issue with the Sunshine State is really less about guns and more about something else. After all, Vermont makes Florida's laws look pretty strict.
