It was my belief that very liberal Vermont has always allowed concealed carry. If it is still true that makes 5 states. Someone correct me.

You lost me. This movement has nothing to do with CCW, but rather with states notifying the feds of areas where the tenth amendment prevents them from meddling in purely intrastate affairs.

Last I read, Vermont and Alaska are the only states in the Union where you don't need a license or permit to own or carry a firearm, though exact rules probably vary.

It’s not about carry (concealed or not), it’s about manufacture and sale: any arms made in the state, marked with the state’s name, and have not left the state (to wit: entered into interstate commerce) are by decree of the state not subject to regulation/enforcement by the feds (a la BATFE, FBI, etc.). A company could make something without kowtowing to federal regulation/prohibition, and sell it to you without the “yellow form” and without a NICS check (among other permutations of intersecting laws).
