I believe Vermont has created an optional permit for those who want one, so that it can be honored in those other states.
Which brings up another question: if there is no Vermont permit and thus no reciprocity, what do our friends from Vermont do about legally carrying in other states when they travel?No such animal...
I believe Vermont has created an optional permit for those who want one, so that it can be honored in those other states. Still, no permit is required for carry, open or concealed, in Vermont.

For the other states, we follow FOPA. This is always a necessity, as Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine are hemmed in by Massachusetts and New York, where we have zero recourse other than FOPA, as there are no provisions for non-residents to carry in those states, nor even to possess a handgun.
Actually, Massachusetts does have a renewable non-resident License to Carry. You can get more information and applications by calling 617-660-4780 or go to the Mass. GOAL website for PDF application forms and instructions.
