For an unrestricted gun law, no permit is required for concealed carry. Any law-abiding adult, regardless of resident status, who can possess a handgun can carry it concealed within the state's borders. Currently, only Alaska and Vermont allow the general public to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.
Alaska is also a "shall-issue" state as it continues to automatically issue carry permits to all residents who meet that state's issuance criteria; this is done primarily for permitting residents to legally carry in states that recognize permits from Alaska.
Vermont is unique in that permits are not required for carry concealed or unconcealed for resident and non-resident alike. Local ordinances vary, though. VT has no statutes concerning concealed carry, nor is there a specific statute that allows it. In the absence of a statute that prohibits it, then it is taken that there is no law against it.
