If you want to be nearer to your relatives in Vermont without getting stuck in the crazy ultraleft culture of New England, you could do a lot worse than SW Pennsylvania.Driver's licenses here are fairly easy to obtain with a license from another state and some proof of address (such as a utility bill in your name).

How about just a VA Card, with perhaps an old (more than twenty years) International Motorist Certificate? I used to travel quite extensively when I was younger and had to have the Certificate before I could take the Driver Exams in other countries, but that was some time ago and I do not believe I have any other paperwork (Nihonjin and Phlippines "Temporary Driver's Permits for instance) from that time.

I am still quite incensed that the DMV took away the old DL before informing Me of the new requirements, especially since they accepted it as proof of ID at the time but demanded new proof before they would issue a new one. Still fuming about that!

We have the second highest number of gun owners in America (to Texas)...

What about the fireams license requirements, registration, and any waiting period?/I

Firearms: You can walk into any Cabela's, Gander Mountain, whatever, pay for your firearm and walk out the same day as long as you pass the mandatory federal test or don't have some court order prohibiting ownership. No registration requirement. Philadelphia tried to impose one, but got slapped down by the state legislature. There is a very strong 2nd Amendment culture here and gun stores galore. The NRA held a recent national convention in Pittsburgh.

License: Probably better check it out with Penndot here: http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/new_residents/driver_license.shtml

At worst, if they won't accept your alternative documents and you drive regularly, you'd probably have no problem passing the test here, though we do have the b***s*** requirement of a physical.
