I have seen in threads in this section that both prohibition of carry in certain places and potential hassles for open carry are the same in Vermont as they are elsewhere.
Other than those conditions, we outsiders hear that Vermont has no legal restrictions on concealed carry. Has that always been the case? If not, when did the reform occur?

State v Rosenthal VT Supreme Court 1903.
Local town required a letter from the police chief to carry a weapon.
Unconsitutional because open carry can not be restricted.
Unconsitutional because state law has no law forbidding the carrying of concealed weapons or firearms.

That was a town ordance you are citing,
We have always had the right ot bear arms, the Vermont State Constitution grants everyone the right to bear arms, it shall not be infringed, requiring a permit is an infringement of your right as granted under the US Constitution, when Vermont drafted it's state Constitution it followed the same.
Article 16 states; " That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of
themselves and the State - and as standing armies in time of
peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept
up; and that the military should be kept under strict sub-
ordination to and governed by the civil power."
Adding as an admendment that protection of hunting, trapping, and fishing is part of the Heritage of being a Vermonter.
No one cares or will ask if you are carrying, because everyone is. No schools, Post offices, (but we all do and so do the mail carriers) no banks. though again, everyone goes in and out of the ATM with their gun on.
It's like pants, everyone puts them on everyday here, we don't even notice unless you forget them. LOL>

I've read through the Vermont firearms statutes a few times and don't remember reading that carry was illegal in banks. Is this true?

There is no law banning carrying in banks. For those who say so, please cite.
