Vermont is a constitutional carry state, which means law-abiding adults 18 or older who can legally possess a firearm under federal and state law may carry a concealed handgun without obtaining a permit. (The state age is actually 16, though the age is 18 under federal law). This extends to carrying a weapon in a private vehicle.
