* [[Vermont]]: Since the Constitution was first ratified in 1789, Vermont was the only [[state]] to permit "Constitutional carry". From 1789 until the [[1800s]], Constitutional carry was the [[law of land]]. During the [[20th century]], all states except Vermont had legislated [[gun control]] bans on [[concealed carry]]. In most states, however, there was an exemption for those [[citizen]]s with a [[license|permit]]. Thanks to Vermont's strictly worded state constitution,[http://www.usconstitution.net/vtconst.html#Article9] [[liberal]] "[[gun control|gun grabbers" have not been able to have any restriction added on the method of how one carries a firearm. Thus Vermont was the only [[free state]] in the nation from an [[Second Amendment]] [[unalienable rights]] perspective. For this reason, Constitutional carry is often still referred to as "Vermont carry" among old persons.

Constitutional or “permitless carry,” says that if you are a legal [[Gun Owners of America|gun owner]] you don’t need permission from the State to exercise your [[unalienable rights|God-given]] [[natural rights|natural right]].
